Optimize Power BI Data Model for Faster Reports

You’ve been showing TWO numbers. When ONE was enough. And every time someone looks at your dashboard— they do math. That’s the problem. Good dashboards show data. Great ones remove thinking. Look again.

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟔 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝟎-𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐈𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 Today I worked with Power BI. From a previous session with Agmuasie Belay Birhanie, I created a table to compare sales data, and that’s where I stopped for today. Data visualization makes things easier to understand. Instead of just looking at numbers, you can actually see what is going on in the data. Even with just the table, the information was already clearer. Let’s explore the Power BI environment. #GIT20DayChallenge #AfricaAgility #DataAnalyticsJourney #LearningInPublic #PowerBI #DataVisualization #WomenInTech #CareerGrowth

Week 2 of our Power BI Dashboard Challenge check-in focused on one thing: Building. 💪 Dashboards have started to take shape, the conversations shifted: > “Am I building the right thing?” > “What should actually go on my dashboard?” > “What do I do if my data isn’t ready?” > “Is this enough for a first version?” Hearing how others are thinking, struggling, and moving forward… in real time. Different industries. Different levels. Same problems. And suddenly… you’re not stuck alone anymore. Next up ➡ Week 3 – refining the dashboards. 💪 =============== 👉 Learn more about the Power BI 30-Day Dashboard Challenge at https://lnkd.in/d-fkqtKB Teddy Salano, Jenesha Nance, #PowerBI #DashboardChallenge #LearnPowerBI #DataAnalytics #CommunityLearning

You’re not struggling with data. You’re struggling with what to do with it. -> Dashboards show you what’s happening. -> Reports show you what happened. -> Insights tell you what to do next. And that last part? That’s where most people get stuck. So they end up with clean dashboards… but no real decisions being made. Our Power BI Workshop is designed to fix exactly that. Not just how to build, but how to think. How to go from numbers → understanding → action. You only need to commit 2 days a week to learn. It is now 50% off, and almost full. Few slots left.

✨4 Ways to Use Error Bars in Power BI Error bars are not just for variance. They can change the entire visual. Example 1: Data Flags Use error bars as markers to highlight key values. Example 2: Rounded Bars Use percentage error bars to mimic rounded bar ends. Example 3: Dumbbell Chart Use error bars to connect two comparison points. Example 4: Boxplot Use error bars to represent range and distribution. Small feature with high impact when used intentionally. ➡️ Watch the videos below for step-by-step-by-step. #powerbi #visuals #errorbars #analytics #data
