Description
The more data you have, the harder it is to highlight key metrics. Can data analysis in Excel and preparing presentations in PowerPoint clarify the main tendencies in your datastore? Or do you drown into unrelated reports and typical slides? Dashboard created in Power BI is the best way to combine data analysis and storytelling. Plenty of charts, cards, and Key Performance Indicators are matched on one dashboard. This tool is useful for CEO and non – management employees as well. Managers are able to control the progress of different departments, product sales, or finishing working processes. As for employees, some dashboards are good motivators to estimate everyone’s progress in comparison with others and push harder.
