Building an Empire - Implementing PowerBI Step by Step - MVP Alexander Arvidsson

Microsoft Data Platform Group Birmingham - Thursday 5th August 2021 @ 1:00pm BST.

Session: Building an Empire - Implementing Power BI Step by Step! MVP Alexander Arvidsson

Abstract:

Trying to implement a BI project can be extremely tedious, take unreasonable amounts of time and in the end turn out to be something that the users didn't want.

This session goes through how to use Power BI and dataflows to iteratively build a BI solution - starting from the absolute beginning with just an excel file, moving to combining data from several data sources, and finally explaining how to use Power BI dataflows and shared datasets to deliver maximum analytical power to the right users with a minimum of wasted time. You will walk away with new ideas how to start and grow your BI projects as well as an insight into Power BI dataflows and its uses.

Speaker Bio:

I make data matter, as only data that matter can inspire change.
You hire me to answer questions you have, and help you find answers to questions you didn’t even know you needed to ask.

I use my 25 years of data experience to guide you in choosing the right tools, methods and solutions from the vast sea of opportunity and challenge that is today’s data landscape.

I am a very experienced technical expert, international speaker, speaker trainer, and Microsoft Certified Trainer, focusing on Microsoft data platform technologies such as SQL Server, Azure Synapse Analytics, Power BI and Azure Data Lake.

I am heavily involved in the international data community, and thanks to my contributions over the years I have been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award in the Data Platform category since 2018.

I run the Swedish Power BI User Group, I speak at several international conferences every year, I co-host a podcast called Knee-Deep in Tech and I have authored courses for Pluralsight.

I live in the metropolis of Linköping, Sweden, with my wife, two cats and way too much Star Wars stuff.

Oh yeah – and I hate cold weather.
