Overview

Enhance your reports with trend analysis techniques such as time series, decomposition trees, and key influencers.

In this course, you’ll learn how to analyze time series, visualize your data, and spot trends. You’ll build new date variables, discover run charts, and get into calculating rolling averages. Finally, you’ll find out how to identify which variables exhibit the most influence on the target variable using Power BI's decomposition trees and key influencers.

Syllabus

  • Exploring Time Series Data
    • In this chapter, you’ll get more familiar with time-based variables and the multiple ways to extract further variables using EDA for analysis—like day of week and time difference. You’ll get hands-on with Power BI as you build line charts to calculate new metrics and uncover trends hiding in your data—including period-over-period change and rolling averages.

  • Decomposition Trees
    • One of the most powerful functions of EDA in Power BI is being able to identify which variables have the most influence on your target outcome. A native Power BI visualization tool enabling that is Decomposition Trees. You'll learn about Decomposition Trees, how to construct, then interpret in order to explain a target outcome by other variables.
  • Key Influencers
    • In this chapter you'll build another native Power BI tool, Key Influencers visual. It helps you to understand how much a target outcome changes based on specific variables and segments of observations.
