POWER EXCEL WITH MR EXCEL

 

 

 

ADD TITLES, LOGOS, & EMBELISHMENTS

Use the Text Box, Image, and Shape tools to add titles and logos to your report. Even though the Shape dropdown only offers a rectangle, there is an option to format the rectangle with rounded edges.

Figure 1033 Add Titles and logos to your report.

Figure 1034 Rounded edges: yes. Glow and reflection: no.

DON'T FORGET TO SAVE YOUR FILE!

The File menu in Power BI Desktop does not have the word File on it. Open the dropdown where the File menu should be and save your work as a PBIX file.

SHARE YOUR DASHBOARD TO POWER BI IN THE CLOUD

Click the Publish icon in Power BI Desktop. The report will be uploaded to your Power BI account.

Figure 1035 Click Publish to publish the data to the cloud.

USE QUICK INSIGHTS

Once your data has been published to the cloud, you can run Quick Insights. This feature is brand new in October 2016. It is based on algorithms from Microsoft Labs. It feels reminiscent of the Recommended

Pivot Table feature introduced in Excel 2013. As time goes by, the logic will likely improve.

Figure 1036 Insights generated 40 such charts.

Without any understanding of my (fake) data, the Quick Insights looks for correlations and outliers.

VIEW YOUR REPORT IN A BROWSER

Sign in to your account at PowerBI.Microsoft.com. You can view your report, interact with the charts.

 

Congratulations - you are now a web designer instead of an Excel data analyst.

Q&A WORKS ON DASHBOARDS, NOT REPORTS

To be able to use the Q&A feature, you have to promote your report to dashboard. From the report, select Pin Live View. Specify that you want to create a new dashboard.

Figure 1038 Create a dashboard from your report.

After saving as a dashboard, open the Dashboard from the left navigation panel. Click in the Q&A box to type questions about your data.

Figure 1039 Enable Q&A.

SHARE A DASHBOARD WITH YOUR MANAGER

Right-click a dashboard name in the left navigation and choose Share. In the right panel, specify an e-mail address. Choose if that person can share the dashboard with others or not.

WAIT A SECOND - A SHARING LINK? ISN'T THIS DANGEROUS?

Problem: Anyone with the sharing link can access our dashboard? Isn't that dangerous?

Strategy: Yes. You, me, and a lot of other people are waiting for an "On Premise" version of Power BI.

CONSUME YOUR DASHBOARD USING POWER BI MOBILE

There are apps for Android and IOS. Sign in on your mobile device and you can consume and interact with your dashboards on your phone or tablet.

WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS COST?

It is free. Until you go past 1 GB of data. Until you need to refresh hourly instead of daily, all of this is free.

If it spreads like wildfire in your company. If you go beyond those limits, then the price is about $10 per person per month.
