Microsoft’s Power BI is a powerful technology for quickly creating rich r visualizations. Power BI has many practical uses for the modern data professional including executive dashboards, operational dashboards, and visualizations for data exploration/analysis.
Microsoft has also extended Power BI with support for incorporating R visualizations into Power BI projects, enabling a myriad of data visualization use cases across all industries and circumstances. As such, this is an extremely valuable tool for any Data Analyst, Product/Program Manager, or Data Scientist to have in their tool belt.
In this Intro to R Visualizations video tutorial, presenter Dave Langer will provide a hands-on introduction to using R visualizations within Power BI using Microsoft’s free Power BI Desktop software. Both Power BI project and .CSV data files will be accessible via GitHub prior to the Meetup presentation.
