In this episode, Sam McKay and Brian Julius discuss their latest initiative from Enterprise DNA, called Workouts. The aim of Workouts is to help users improve their skills in a more time-efficient and accessible way. They dive into how Workouts provide users with the opportunity to accelerate their skills in data analysis through daily challenges and access to experts in various fields.

Brian shares his vision for Workouts as a gym-like setting where members and non-members can improve their job prospects by building their skill portfolios. He also believes that the rapid development of Artificial intelligence (AI), Robotic process automation (RPA), Continue reading “The Power of Practice: Enterprise DNA’s New Initiative Workouts for Data Analysts with Brian Julius” →

Euclidean distance is a distance measure commonly used in machine learning to find the closest ideal match between two data points. This measure computes the straight-line distance between two points in a high-dimensional space.

With the integration of Python in Power BI, users can leverage Python’s machine learning capabilities, including the calculation of Euclidean distance, to enhance their data analysis. In this tutorial, Gaelim shows how you can find the similar matches between data points with Euclidean distance using Python.

One of the latest updates for Power BI in April 2023 introduces a new capability called Dynamic Format Strings, which provides an interactive means for users to control the presentation of data in visuals. In this video, Brian demonstrates how you can setup and utilize of this feature.

Although the current example focuses on modifying the format of a singular visual with Dynamic Format Strings, this technique can be readily extended to multiple visuals on a single page or even to the entire suite of visuals spanning several pages by utilizing synch slicers.

Power BI is an exceptional tool for time intelligence as it allows for easy visualization and analysis of time-based data. Its built-in time intelligence functions enable users to quickly calculate common time-based metrics like year-to-date or month-over-month comparisons.

Isolating certain dates in Power BI can be tedious when dealing with large datasets or complex date ranges. This can require using filters, slicers, or other advanced features to extract the desired data. In this video, Greg is going to demonstrate how you can calculate due dates within working days in Power BI using DAX and Power Query.

Efficient data analysis often requires calculating results for specific days within a week. For instance, when sales inputs are available only on weekdays, it becomes necessary to isolate those days for analysis.

In this tutorial, Sam showcases how you can use DAX to solve this issue, along with some slight adjustments to the date table in the data model. By following these steps, you can streamline your analysis process and gain valuable insights without unnecessary data points.
