Webinar 10/16: Build Impactful Financial Dashboards Using Microsoft Power BI with Avi Singh
Crowd Favorite Avi Singh is back next week presenting on his favorite topic:
Building Impactful Financial Dashboards Using Microsoft Power BI
As a Financial analyst, rather than wrestling with data and queries, wouldn't you rather focus on serving your customer—the business—by providing smart analysis, insights and financial guidance? Meet Microsoft Power BI: the latest and greatest BI tool by Microsoft that's making waves. Power BI makes it super easy to clean up messy data; combine data from multiple sources (e.g., general ledger, personnel); define magical measures that you can use everywhere—say goodbye to filling your sheets with endless formulas; and create beautiful and impactful visualization that you can interact with and ask questions (no more walking out of the meetings with 20 action items). Discover all of this and more as we walk through building an actual financial dashboard using Power BI.
When: Tuesday, October 16, 2018 10:00 AM-11:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada).

Webinar 10/2: Creative DAX solutions by Philip Seamark
Did you know the DAX language is far more capable than merely running a SUM over a column, or counting rows in a table? DAX sits on top of one of the fastest databases around, and this webinar will explore some unusual and creative scenarios that you may not have thought of as feasible. The webinar will aim to reset your understanding of what is possible in DAX by walking through some interesting code highlights from a recent series of games built using DAX (Blackjack, Sudoku , Tic Tac Toe , Hangman & Minesweeper). Each game pushes and explores different boundaries in DAX and will attempt to show just where those lines are. The session will hopefully inspire you to add some creative and exciting techniques to your own DAX based data models. Full source code will be made available for download.

7/12 Webinar: Text Analysis in Power BI with Cognitive services with Leila Etaati
This week we will be delivering a sneak peak of some of the Business Applications Summit content!:
Text Analysis in Power BI with Cognitive services with Leila Etaati
Data that we collected always is not about numbers and structured data. In any organization, there is a need to analyze the text data such as customer comments, extract the primary purpose of a call from its scripts, detect the language of customer feedback and translate it and so forth. To address this issue, Microsoft Cognitive Services provides a set of APIs, SDKs, and services available to developers to do text analysis without writing R or Python codes. In this session, I will explain what is text analysis such as sentiment analysis, key phrase extraction, Language detection and so forth. Next, the process of text analysis in Power BI using cognitive services will be demonstrated.
