I really like to rhyme but not when writing DAX as every time I've tried, there's an error in the syntax. The more I read that the less think DAX and syntax rhyme... #DataAnalysis #DAX #SyntaxError #PowerBI

With the date for the next UK General Election having been announced yesterday, I thought I'd have a look at what it would take to create an election results map using Power BI and the forthcoming Icon Map Pro. Well it turns out it's super easy! Here's a short six minute video showing the whole process end to end from downloading the results data, importing it into Power BI, downloading the parliamentary constituency boundaries, and creating a thematic map using Icon Map Pro. https://lnkd.in/eknbjzQr If you're interested in finding out more about Icon Map Pro, you can register on https://iconmappro.com and we'll have more details announced really soon! #PowerBI #MicrosoftFabric #IconMap #IconMapPro #SpatialAnalytics

How is Power BI changing business intelligence with advanced data modelling? At Prism BI Ltd we're continually exploring the evolving landscape of data analytics, and recently, a compelling discussion has surfaced around the critical practice of data modelling within Power BI. This conversation delves into why businesses should consider modelling data beyond immediate reporting needs, exploring both the advantages and potential drawbacks of this strategic approach. At the centre of the discussion is Power BI, Microsoft’s interactive data visualisation software product whose primary focus is on business intelligence. Fundamentally, data modelling simplifies the process of deriving actionable insights from data. Unlike transactional databases optimised for routine operations, effective data modelling optimises data structures for analytical tasks, facilitating both technical efficiency and enhanced human comprehension. What are the advantages? 💎 Organised Data: It structures data into logical frameworks making it easier to understand and analyse 💎 Improved Efficiency: Data retrieval and queries are optimised and sped up, enhancing overall system efficiency 💎 Scalability: Facilitates the integration of new data sources and accommodates evolving business needs without extensive rework 💎 Enhanced Decision Making: Provides clearer insights and supports informed decision-making across the organisation (including non-technical individuals and stakeholders) 💎 Promotes data health: Minimises data duplication and inconsistencies, ensuring data accuracy and reliability While data modelling offers significant advantages, there are certain things however that need to be weighed up, including the initial complexity of designing a comprehensive data model, as well as the often steep learning curve associated with understanding and implementing data modelling techniques, particularly for teams new to the concept. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐁𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩! With over 20 years experience, we can help to guide your business through the intricacies of data modelling, ensuring your data strategy aligns seamlessly with your business objectives. #bigdata #powerbi #datamodelling #datavisualisation
