When we create a pivot table report, based on statistical data, it’s sometimes convenient to group them into bins so that we can analyze them more easily. In one simple case, where we research the age of the respondents and the answer to the question whether they are smokers or not, you will see how the groups (bins) are made and how can we later use them to create beautiful charts.
The Pivot cache is automatically created each time you insert a Pivot table, and it is an object that replicates the data source based on which Pivot table is being made. Each time you need to change the look of the Pivot table, Excel automatically calls the cache, simply because it’s much faster – it handles local data, stored in the computer’s memory. However, what happens when a synchronization error occurs?
Power BI service, in accordance to trends, allows document sharing and collaborative work. There are multiple file sharing mechanisms, and most of them are only available to users of the Power BI Pro license, which is understandable because sharing involves working in a group, it makes no sense to share something with itself. In the following text I’ll mention address workspaces and further document sharing, how to generate QR code and monitor report statistics.
Drillthrough is an option that allows one or more reports, extracted on a separate report page, to be obtained based on the chosen dimension according to which we want to display its details. In this way, PowerBI reports get on interactivity, and by using this feature one complex report can be divided into several smaller and simpler ones, making it easier to find the information requested.
Appearance of the report is no longer only important thing, but also its interactivity. Therefore, new feature – buttons are added to PowerBI. These are graphic objects intended to give you a step backward, if you drilldown within the report, to launch a report that is recorded as a Bookmark or display a table/chart that was created as a result of a pre-designed question.
