Dashboard Week
Dashboard Week can be described as five consecutive days of applying to The Data School. Each day Data Schoolers are given a dataset with explicit directions, a few hours to prepare the data (as needed), sketch the dashboard design, create vizzies and dashboard, and present. Sometimes additional lectures are provided. Crying and gnashing of the teeth are optional.
The Challenge for Day 2 - Received a quick introduction to Power BI, chose an industry, built a fake dataset with Mockaroo (per instructions), and used Power BI to create a Key Performance Indicators (KPI) dashboard.
My goal for the day was to get more experience creating data in Mockaroo and explore Power BI’s capabilities. I started by researching airline KPIs and sought to create a realistic dataset.to replicate some of the standard metrics. I admit I was carried away and spent too much time in Mockaroo.
I familiarized myself with the Power BU workspace. I mainly operated between the Data and Report windows.
