Course Introduction
Course Introduction
Power BI makes it easy to create visualizations quickly, but also provides a range of options for modifying, formatting, and customizing these visualizations and analyzing your data. This lesson explains why this is important and introduces the course case study.
Drilling Down Into Visualizations
Drilling Down Into Visualizations
In Power BI, fields can be arranged in hierarchies. In this lesson, we'll see how this affects visualizations. We'll see how to drill down into visualizations, and how to move up and down through hierarchies within a chart.
Creating and Using Hierarchies
Creating and Using Hierarchies
Having seen how hierarchies work, we'll now see how we can create our own hierarchies using some of the fields in our dataset, as well as learning how these hierarchies affect interactions with other charts.
Using Small Multiples
Using Small Multiples
Small multiples break a single visualization down into multiple small ones, making them ideal for analyzing data by some categorical field. Learn how to create these small multiples in this lesson.
Creating Tables and Matrices
Creating Tables and Matrices
In this lesson, we'll see how to create tables and matrices. We'll learn how to format these visuals, how to show values as a percentage of totals, and how to drill up and down when one of the fields is a hierarchy.
Applying Conditional Formatting
Applying Conditional Formatting
Conditional formatting is a key tool in Power BI. In this lesson, we'll use tables and matrices to learn how to format values using data bars, color scales, and icons.
Conditional Formatting of Charts
Conditional Formatting of Charts
Conditional formatting isn't just for tables and matrices. In this lesson, we'll learn how to apply conditional formatting to charts and to properties of charts, such as data labels.
Introduction to Quick Measures
Introduction to Quick Measures
Quick measures let you create new calculated fields in your data model without writing any code. In this lesson, we'll learn how to create a Quick Measure, add it to a visual, and interpret the results.
Using Quick Measures
Using Quick Measures
In this lesson, we'll create more Quick Measures, including a running total, a quarter to date revenue figure, and a comparison with a specified value.
Creating Groups
Creating Groups
Groups, in the form of lists and bins, provide convenient ways of combining your data into groups that are easy to analyze. We'll create groups and use them in charts in this lesson.
Drillthrough Filters
Drillthrough Filters
Drillthrough filters allow you to present a full report page filtered according to a user's selection on a different page. We'll learn how to create them in this lesson.
What If Parameters
What If Parameters
What If Parameters allow us to adjust the possible values of some important variable in our data model, and see how this affects our visualizations. Learn how to create these parameters in this lesson.
