Data Visualization with Power BI

Storytelling with Data

Arimoro Olayinka Imisioluwa

Data is the new lifeblood of business and visualization has emerged as the common language. Effective communication with data is now a must-have skill for all employees at all levels. In this project, you will build a report to tell data stories to communicate business insights. We will start this hands-on project by preparing the dataset including creating calculated columns to enhance data storytelling. Then, we will create data stories for total sales for different data attributes. By the end of this 2-hour long project, you will be able to tell convincing data stories that communicate your findings and recommendations. Then, you will tidy up the project by creating an executive summary and cover page in Power BI. To be successful in this project, you need to be familiar with loading and preparing data in Power Query, creating simple DAX measures, and using Power BI for visualizing data. To get familiar with these concepts, check out my previous Power BI projects. If you are comfortable with these concepts, please join me on this wonderful and exciting ride! Let’s get our hands dirty!
