Second day this week in Power BI. If I were honest, I'd say I did not expect it for our last week.
The exercise was to work with NBA data, and we were supposed to get it using PBI itself. I was not able to do that for any given Team (as suggested/requested), so decided to try something else. The question about the best player is one that's always surfacing, so I decided to define criteria, based on the available data, to answer that question.
The table I managed to download was the Awards one, for MVP, Top Points, Rebounds, Assists, and Win Share. My idea was to count the total awards a player received in his whole career, and the result was Wilt Chamberlain, with 31 Total Awards.
I spent most of the time trying to do these calculations on PBI and watched videos about it, but I failed nonetheless and ended up having to do it with Alteryx. Was not much time left for the Dashboard (called Report in PBI) itself, because I really wanted to try following the exercise rules. Ultimately, the result was poor and I couldn't do it in PBI. Shame.
The thing I missed most from Tableau was containers. God, trying to align things was a nightmare. A very close second was the way calculated fields and operations work in Tableau as opposed to PBI. I think I have a long way before me before I can start building any meaningful PBI Reports.
On the positive side, I wish Tableau had the Data Model view from PBI, it is really cool and clean.
See you tomorrow!
