From a Power BI perspective, it combines a range of techniques such as:
✅ Dynamic titles, dynamic text and key metrics
✅ Mapping including leveraging NSW web mapping service for displaying high-res state vegetation maps
✅ Clever use of conditional formattingCome and hear about how to implement these tips & tricks from report author Alice Drummond. Note that this will be delivered at an intermediate to advanced Power BI level.
