Introduction to Power BI Desktop

[@farooqmuhammad5983]

I am using latest version of power BI and enjoying preparing different reports, analysis and Dashboards as well. All these documents are very easy to make on Power BI.

[@JasonYousef]

moving the mouse erratically really drove me crazy!! nice work, thanks for sharing :)

[@DustinRyan]

I'll work on my mouse skills. :) Glad you found it helpful.

[@ShereMcClamb]

Investing this app for a business unit that requires reporting from excel files. I think it might be a winner!

[@vraogopal5981]

Thanks Ryan! Excellent stuff, looking forward to install it and generate some meaningful reports

[@DustinRyan]

Good morning, friends. I'm loving the new #PowerBI desktop. Anyone else addicted to building #dashboard reports in Power BI? #businessintelligence FTW!

[@danieladjei-nyarko4788]

Fantastic Video Dustin . Really help full

[@anarubio9981]

Hello, Dustin! Thank you for the video, it was quite useful. I am using PowerBI in order to make financial reports and I needed some light.

[@kevingrant6334]

That's a really cool demonstration Ryan. I can't understand why someone would give it the thumbs down.

[@johnrobert1982]

I've just started using this Power Bi and this video is brilliant. Thank You

[@DustinRyan]

John Bowman-Yard You're welcome!

[@imkvivek]

Hello Dustin, Thanks a lot, this is very good video for beginners. I am experienced guy into MSBI development. Now I want to learn POWER BI, this is my first video to start.

[@kennethluong3584]

Great presentation. Been doing DW/DM/BI For over a decade and found your tutorial very useful. I think after this tutorial, I can work on my own without any additional help.

[@mmimpositive]

Imparting your knowledge to others very nicely, which helps everyone to start on this

[@Lixia123]

After your video I can start build my own dashboard, very practical and useful guide. Thanks.

[@DustinRyan]

+Lixia Zhang You are most welcome!

[@gong4amer914]

Thanks Dustin for a great introduction on how to use PowerBI. Brilliant!

[@sunnybunny565]

That's really a nice tutorial.. From this i have learnt what power bi can do. Thanks.

[@BillAdams001]

Very nice introduction to PowerBI. I hope to completely watch it but the first fifteen minutes were definitely interesting and useful. Thank you!

Very well explained. Awesome job Dustin.

[@parthomandal6704]

Thanks & well done Dustin. Perhaps at a later version you have talked about how the data can be updated?

[@vijayswamy2564]

Thanks Dustin. Very useful and learnt quite a lot. Specially the DAX stuff.

[@heck0272]

Great work Dustin.Thanks for all the detailed info

[@SqldustyHome]

+Hector Marcia Thank you, Hector! Glad you found it useful!

[@chicagorealtynow]

Dustin, I really liked your video. I've worked as a Microsoft Trainer for a few years and also consulting with SQL Server. You were very easy to follow and understand. I have also worked with QlikSense and QlikView. It seems that his product does a lot of the same type of stuff. I wanted to be able to talk about the product if someone asks me and with your video, I can more than do that. Thanks for putting it up :)

[@charismashines]

Good introductory to beginners like me! Thanks!

[@palliraotalend6723]

This video is so nice gives me good understand about Power Bi in very short time also requesting to post the advanced topics in PowerBI.. Thanks a lot :)

[@korova2000]

This is one of the best BI intro video Thank you

[@DustinRyan]

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful. :)

[@dumisibanda]

@Dustin Ryan, thanks a lot for your insightful video. you just made clear to me the relationship between Power BI desktop and Power Pivot. I learnt a lot and also connected the missing dots by watching your video

[@DustinRyan]

Great, glad you found it helpful.

[@BIElite]

Great intro. Clear and to the point. Thanks!

[@euleralencar]

Hi Dustin. Your work is fenomenal. I saw this days your report in PowerBI about NFL. You should make a vide explaining how you did that. Thanks for the tips.

[@epastorejr]

Thanks, very nice straightforward intro !

[@StylisticMurder]

i'm trying to share an excel workbook exported from power bi (from analize in excel tab) with other co-workers, but i can't get it done, is there any way to do it? am i missing something? (i'm using the 60 days pro trial)

[@sebastianmolero1703]

Thanks Ryan. Excelent presentation and great explanation. Greetings from Buenos Aires

[@DustinRyan]

+Sebastian Molero Thank you! Glad you found it beneficial!

[@-asrial-]

Great video, thank you! This makes me want to play with this software! Hardest part is just finding something to use :D

[@Slash1066]

Really cool, thanks for this walk through, looking forward to playing with it

[@davemesh_]

This is great. It was indeed helpful to my career in Power BI

[@atulvishal2240]

It's really very good video for beginners. Thank you

[@ladyashephd727]

Looking forward to advancing my career through Power Business Analytics in Excel, Microsoft BI, Tableau and Qlik

[@dakotafog7903]

great video for a Power BI beginner, thank you

[@DustinRyan]

You're welcome! Glad you found it useful!

[@leonmiles1705]

Hi Dustin. Must confess one the better Intro vids for Power BI I've come across! Like your sample data and how you used it to it's full capacity. Worthwhile signing up to Opusdata to get that sample file. Thanks, keep up the good work!

[@DustinRyan]

Thanks, Leon. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've been toying with the idea of redoing the video with a more publically available dataset that I made available for download. I don't normally like to redo what I've already done, but I would if it was beneficial to the community. In your opinion, would that be worth the effort?

[@leonmiles1705]

Please REDO! Yes Dustin. Even if I now speak on behalf of the community. The DAX functions you've covered is interesting and fits in with the overall theme you had going there. Now that's what you call a proper Power BI Introduction. The visuals as well speaks to the data and represents it quite well. I'm looking forward to your next installment. THANK YOU for your dedication in contributing to the success of the Power BI Desktop app!

[@DustinRyan]

Thanks for the feedback, Leon. It's very helpful to me personally. Any suggestions for good datasets to use?

[@leonmiles1705]

I think for me personally, Financial samples showing products, units sold, manufacturer, sales price, gross sales, profits would work. I do not work with Finances, but think it's great to use them in Power BI. Seems to me one can be more flexible with visuals and DAX functions. Thanks for following up Dustin!

[@DustinRyan]

Ok cool, I can probably find some data based on retail data that fits that criteria.

[@sachinkadam9779]

thanks for the video i was knowing nothing about power bi but now m sure i know much.

[@16arvisva]

Thank you Dustin! Great intro video. I was just curious if there's a way to see the code generating the reports.

[@DustinRyan]

Nice job Dustin. Is there a demo using date pulled from wikepedia? This tool just blew my mind. It will be so helpful for so many researchers in many areas. Thank-you again Dustin.

[@tamasbiro1766]

very very nice! Thnaks for doing this.

[@matinpaymani9921]

useful and concise video

[@lissyking21]

Hi Dustin....You made the video that I needed. When are you posting more videos? You created the reports but you didn't pin any of the report to the dashboards on POwerBi website. Would be cool if you do that. Can you do a video on connecting to the SQL server and create a report from there? Thanks Dustin. I will be visiting your blog now.

[@LianABalan]

Excellent, thank you

[@nitinmore7686]

Dear Sir, What should be the minimum hard ware requirement for running Power BI, for the speed which we can see in published Power Bi videos...?

[@excelgyanbisolutions]

Very helpful video. Thanks :)

[@bw6155]

Is there anyway to create a dashboard just on Power BI Desktop for in house sharing? Or must all dashboards be published before you can link the visualizations to reports

[@Sarabjitsethi]

Is there any way to change the position of X-axis in a cluster bar chart, by default it's position down but i wanted to on upper side of chart.

[@lcheng729]
