Key elements of Actionable Reporting & Zebra BI Cards showcase - Mark Leskovšek

THIS WILL BE AN ONLINE EVENT.
The feature presentation will start at 8PM NZT, but we'll open the meeting at 7:30pm for general Power BI chit-chat and perhaps an impromptu demo of anything new.

Topic: Key elements of Actionable Reporting (with Zebra BI Cards showcase)
Speaker: Mark Leskovšek, BI specialist at Zebra BI

You want your report to provide you with immediate insights. But without intuitive design, that’s not always the case.

In fact, unintuitive reports with confusing layouts will prove just the opposite. You and your team might even lose focus while digging through them and then put them aside.

That’s why so many companies around the world are already looking to Actionable Reporting to help them improve their dashboards and data storytelling.

Actionable Reporting happens when you implement reports that are well-structured, understandable, and actionable. Even more: they need to be appealing to use and easy to dig into.

It all starts on your landing page with an informative scoreboard that tells you where your business is going.

This means you should be able to learn on the fly which KPIs are performing well and which are not. You should just glance at the landing page and see the comparison to plan, forecast, or previous year, see what is driving your KPIs up or down, and make predictions. That's what we'll dive into during the next meetup from Zebra BI.

You’ll learn:
- How to create clear and consistent reports

• How to collect key business drivers / KPIs on a special landing page
  - Elements of Actionable Reporting (advanced charts - variance analysis, small multiples, top N + others, grouped tables with variances. report page tooltips, financial reporting with formula editor, comments, and custom themes)
  - Hands-on practical examples in Power BI
