September 2021 Hampton Roads Power BI User Group Meeting

Our next user group meeting will take place on Tuesday, September 28th, 2021.

Topic: Power Up Power BI with Jupyter Notebooks
Jupyter Notebook is used by data scientists and business analysts for Machine Learning & Statistical analysis using Python & R. We can use Jupyter Notebook as an external tool in Power BI, access the Power BI dataset directly in the notebook and also embed Power BI dashboards. This can help with ad-hoc data manipulation, advanced visualization, statistical analysis and building machine learning models. In this session, we will go over the functionality and the typical use cases so you can add Jupyter Notebooks in your tool chest.

Speaker: Sandeep Pawar
Sandeep is a Data Science professional, currently working at Cree Lighting as Simulation & Data Analytics Engineer. He uses engineering simulations, data analytics, Statistics, and Machine Learning to improve products and processes. After a successful career in mechanical engineering, Sandeep pivoted to data science and helped solve a business challenge using Statistics and Data Analytics. It energized him so much that he pursued his second Master’s in Engineering Management at Northwestern University with a focus on Organizational Analytics. He learned how to use analytics to gain business insights. As an engineer he understands System Dynamics, and hence focuses on creating sustainable solutions rather than quick band-aid fixes.
