Exploring My self to learn Power Bi
With my skill to learn on my own, I came across the Power BI dashboard and i felt i could have something to represent data hosted on Microsoft SQL Server in a dashboard that can show an analytical view of all what i with an easy date picker and dropdown list to interact with the database even with little or no knowledge of how sql query is writing.
Before this period, i have been querying through sql server direct each time my supervisor asks for data and information from the database.
You can't imagine writing a query like this every time and depending on a request from one's supervisor.

Process of Learning Power Bi.
I was able to see some past designs from my organization with which gave me more insight on what i want. But how to go about this, i started working on test dataset and finally try to create a dashboard with the inspiration and with the level of my exposure in analysis, Graphic design, SQL query and visualization, i could easily interact with the Power Bi to make my automated dashboard.
This was one of my Organization power bi dashboards i got my inspiration from.
This was one of the dashboards i came up with, Even though i need to close the figure it generating because of confidentiality purposes.
This makes one of my work so easy now so i could focus on more tasks and also having enough time for personal development for the organization.
