Power BI Challenge 6-Insurance Complaints Wrap Up from one of Enterprise DNA's Interns, Haroon.

 

One thing however that is consistent at the minute is the Enterprise DNA challenge and it didn’t fail to deliver there were some epic entries. The idea sharing, collaboration, encouragement, feedback and willingness to help each other is brilliant to see and truly resonates with what we at Enterprise believe is the best way to learn and develop.

Since starting to use Power BI I have been advocating the following 'basic' model

However. You can also create reports within Power BI Service. This is mentioned within the certification route for DA 100 Analysing Data with Power BI. Which makes things a little more confusing and I have been asked on lots of occasions. "If you can do everything in Service, what is the point of using Desktop?"

This post will hopefully answer that question.

WordCloud custom visual in Power BI gives a great way to visualize the most occurring words in the data. The size of the word depends on how frequently it appeared in the data-set.

This article here gives a workaround on how one can achieve this functionality in Power BI.
