In this self study assignment you are asked to install/work with Microsoft’s PowerBI analytics tool. (warning once installed it, it take a few minutes to load up ). If you have a Mac you can not download PowerBi desktop without having a Windows partition created on you Mac. Otherwise you will need to use a friend’s pc or create a data analytics research project and submit a 1 page proposal prior to Nov 8 for approval.
Download Power Bi desktop at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/
Your assignment will be to go through the Microsoft Getting started with PowerBI desktop tutorial (links below ) and journalize your learning experience You will record your learning in the attached learning journal document and create a unique report/visualization from the data set provided. Also attached is the sample data file. Use the PowerBi discussion board with your fellow student. I will not be participating but will review for those who contribute the most help ( will boost your class participation grade)
There are many tutorials on youtube just be sure to check their dates as Power Bi is being continuously updated by Microsoft and features change.
Parts of the tutorials below may assume that you are using the Power BI Service which you are not likely to be using so just try to understand how the Power BI Service function would improve collaboration within and organization
