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.

Power BI Desktop visuals

Purpose of PowerBI Desktop application is to create reports on a local machine and publish them in the cloud for users who can see them anytime, at any moment, by Internet browser on a PC or a mobile device.

Decorating the Christmas tree

There is a time of Christmas holidays, the time when everybody, more or less, decorates the Christmas tree, and this served as an inspiration for the text on the application of one more type of Excel chart. It is a subtype of the Scatter called Bubble and by which we can get a “XY” chart whereby a multicolored “balls” are found on the section. To create this diagram all we need are: a table of data, a picture of the Christmas tree and a little work in Excel!

Scatter chart

When I was in school, and learning about Cartesian (Descartes’s) coordinate system I must admit I liked it a lot! I was in love with the idea that in the intersection of x and y axes, dots can be drawn, and then they connect to the line and show some trend. It’s been a long time since than, and in the honor of legendary Rene Descartes I’ll be creating a recipe about scatter charts.
