Power BI Journey: Blog #5

In this lesson, the topic discussed was regarding drill-downs. I can compare it to a "Prezi" equivalent in Power BI. In Prezi, we can zoom in and out of a powerpoint presentation to see details encapsulated in a mother topic.

In drill downs, we are shown a summarized graph of the data but if we want to know some of the nitty-gritty stuff within that graph, we can "drill down" further to see the specifics within that summary.

As an example, we have the following summarized visualization for the Price by Product and Store.

If we activate the drill-down icon and click one of the bars i.e. Costco, we will be able to see the total price of the products that were bought at Costco as shown below.

We can further drill down on specific quarters to see how the product sold in those quarters. In this case, more purchases of bottled water were recorded during the first quarter.

Note: Drill-downs are specifically useful when conducting presentations and stakeholders want to know specific details regarding the visualization that is being presented.

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. Dragon", "Living Things", "They're located in the left ear, you know."); INSERT INTO documents (author, title, content) VALUES ("Jackie Paper", "Pirate Recipes", "Cherry pie, apple pie, blueberry pie."); INSERT INTO documents (author, title, content) VALUES ("Jackie Paper", "Boat Supplies...

Power BI Journey: Blog #6

In this lesson, the focus is on "Conditional Formatting" which is very much similar to the conditional formatting in MS Excel which I could relate to following the making of the joint reporting system for personnel during my second job. Basically, we click the data columns that we want to be displayed in a tabular visualization. Next, we select the columns that we will be applying conditional formatting to > Right-click on that column > Select Conditional Formatting > Select from among the options which is more appropriate for your application In this particular exercise, we utilized Background conditional formatting using gradient (applied on the first column of the first table) and rules (IF ELSE which was applied on the second column of the first table), Icons conditional formatting (applied on the second column of the first table), Data bars conditional formatting (applied on the second column of the first table and the fourth column of the second table). In the...
