==============

I absolutely love Power BI, and a couple of weeks ago, Microsoft snuck out a preview product which takes all of the good parts of the PowerBI that we like in Excel (which is pretty much everything – PowerQuery, PowerPivot, PowerView etc.) and packaged it up into a nice little standalone product that they call the Power BI Designer. And you can download it for free directly from your PowerBI portal within Office 365.


You can also post everything that you create within the Power BI Designer to the new and improved Power BI sites within Office 365, and from there you can use Power Q&A to search through your data and then create summary dashboards that combine information from multiple sources.


So when the AXUG asked me to host a webinar for them next Monday I couldn’t think of a better topic – especially since the new Power BI Designer allows you to create your own dashboards and analytics practically for free.


If you are free between 2pm & 3pm EST next Monday (Jan 26th) then you may want to register, grab a cup of coffee and drop on by – here is the link: http://www.axug.com/Widgets/Generic?cobaltsrc=https://dciportal.cobaltsaas.com/Meetings/Registration/MeetingDetails.aspx?mid=23dcc690-348b-478c-b120-7a3b089be46e#tab0


Here is a sneak peek into what I will be showing you how to create directly from the Dynamics AX data


 


PS. If you are not an AXUG member, and still want to see the presentation then use the 30 day trial to register and sneak on in.


PPS. Even if you don’t have Dynamics AX, then drop on by – this product is great and you can use it to report off anything you like.
