Exploring the DCCEEW Flood Recovery Power BI Dashboard
Alice Drummond
The "Power BI and Data Analytics for Enviros" meetup group is all about sharing tips, tricks and hacks for analysing, visualising and communicating environmental data. The purpose of this blog is to summarise the key take-aways from the sessions, to help with sharing knowledge, empowering others and creating a strong data culture across our community.
The session focused on explaining the context behind the tool, then identifying several Power BI techniques adopted to allow for the dynamic user interface. This included Power Query steps, the data model creation, DAX calcs and various visuals including the more advanced Icon Map features. We hope you learn more about Power BI's functionality from viewing this video
