Win-Loss chart

If you are engaged in budgeting and cost analysis it will be useful to know how to create a Win-Loss chart. This is a type of Bar Chart chart which, on the left side, holds negative values (most often the losses), and on the right side positive values (most often the gains). On the left side there can be also shown the costs, and on the right side the revenues. Let’s take a look at how this chart works!

Data clustering

When we make PowerBI reports with Scatter chart there is a technique where, by using machine learning mechanisms, data groups are grouped into clusters. Clusters are represented by different colors and in this way it is easier to see the connection between groups of data. Once created clusters can also be used to create other PowerBI visuals.

Custom visuals

PowerBI Desktop has a number of tools for data visualization- visuals. They allow the data that is imported into Model to be used for creation carts, tables, variety of charts, slicers … Sometimes there is a need for specific visualization tools that are not offered in the standard range. We call them Custom visuals. You can find them all in the Office Store, download desired visual, install it, add appropriate data set and bring data to life!

Power BI, logging and data import

In a previous post I talked about the history and gave brief introductory remarks regarding PowerBI service and its “tastes” (PowerBI, PowerBI Desktop, PowerBI Mobile). In the text that follows you will see how to apply on PowerBI service and import data from a desired source. We will connect to data table, taken from ERP solution, and connect to the data you will later use to create the report. Concentrate, the magic begins!
