Power BI Journey: Blog #1



Just want to pass by here and update you regarding learning about the data visualization tool - Power BI. By the way, BI is an acronym for business intelligence. I am using the YouTube videos from Alex the Analyst. Hopefully, this works out. I am already finished with video #1 and appreciating how this tool was able to create visualizations (graphs) just from clicks and a few editing and navigation in the software. Currently, I realized that the ones presented can still be done using MS Excel although the same graphs could be quite tedious in Excel than in this platform.

SQL Journey: Blog#10

So far, we are only "reading" from a given database or table using the SELECT command of SQL. In today's lesson, we will now start "writing" into a given database using the UPDATE and DELETE commands. Challenge: Dynamic Documents Given data: CREATE table documents (     id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,     title TEXT,     content TEXT,     author TEXT);      INSERT INTO documents (author, title, content)     VALUES ("Puff T.M. Dragon", "Fancy Stuff", "Ceiling wax, dragon wings, etc."); INSERT INTO documents (author, title, content)     VALUES ("Puff T.M.

SQL Journey: Blog #14

I am now on what Alex the Analyst would call the advanced SQL queries. First off, the Common Table Expression or CTEs. Based on what I understood in the video, CTEs is similar to a function or class in Python which you can call out. It is just how I felt when I first encountered this expression. Now, in this particular case, I tried to replicate what Alex is doing but also not copying the codes that he is using. I am just simply trying to understand what the expression that was used (which starts with WITH) and then observe how he used the said expression. This was my code. Now this code, resulted in the following error. Msg 8156, Level 16, State 1, Line 84 The column 'EmployeeID' was specified multiple times for 'CTE_Employee'. What does someone do in this day and age if we encounter something that bogs us down? We go to the internet especially to AI tools to aid us out. And, apparently, these tools will really come in handy. It stated that the error occurred because I...
