if a tree falls in the forest does it
make a sound if you created an amazing
report but didn't share it with anyone
did you really create it I'm going to
show you how easy it is to create a
beautiful power bi dashboard and share
it with anyone in your organization keep
watching and at this point either you
can go online power bi calm and and say
get data or really what's most
convenient is right from within power bi
desktop you can click the publish button
and the first time it might ask you to
sign in and for here I'm using a pro
feature you don't have to use that most
likely you're just going to see my
workspace and it's perfectly fine to
publish that I have I set up our area
for class I'm going to publish that here
but for youagain publishing in my
workspace is just fine I'm going to
select that and I had done this once in
practice so it's asking me if I want to
replace it yes sure and should be done
in a moment and there we go it's done it
also gives you a quick link which you
can just open it I already have it open
so I'm not going to bother with that if
I go to power bi and again I logged in
with the same account that I'd use to
publish it so I'm here and I see my data
set which really represents my data
model so let's examine the elements here
what are we what are we seeing here so
on this side I see my data set which i
just published that that represents my
data model and I see reports and let's
see what that looks like so if I click
on reports I see that a board that I
just built
and for my dataset if I were to click on
it it actually launches a new report it
gives me that blank page and I can
create a new report right within my
browser if you click on the ellipsis
next to it it has a few other options
we're going to talk a whole lot more
about this later on but for now this is
the data set this is the report that we
just uploaded all the elements that we
had built and what we're going to see
now is how to pin items on the dashboard
so we got a report and a report is a
rich detailed view of course--you custom
build it you can have additional tabs
it's fully interactive people can say
hey go look at bikes or drill down
accessories all of the sort of stuff but
dashboard is a high level view dashboard
is a quick picture maybe you're set
building this for an executive and on
the move they can just glance at it and
say how are things going over all right
so that's what dashboard is so reports
rich interactive detailed dashboards
kind of a high-level view and the way
you start building off dashboards right
now it's just totally blank so the
report was published but we have to
build the dashboard on power bi comm on
the cloud and the way you go about
building it is that you pin elements to
the dashboard so as you hover over the
elements in your report you would see
this thumbtack and all you have to do
this one is tricky is just click on that
being visual and it says hey which
dashboard do you want to pin to existing
or you can create a new dashboard and
I'm just going to choose existing and
save in done so let me go back and show
you what happened their dashboard has
this one element and I'm going to pin a
whole bunch of other elements and then
we'll go back and tweak your dashboard
so I'm gonna pin sales great and I'm
going to skip budget because I don't
think that information is needed at a
high level so I'm just going to show
variance and variance percentage perfect
and then I'll choose these graphs
I believe these eliminate a whole lot
more all right so I think I have the
high elements high level elements that I
need now if I go to go to my dashboard
it doesn't really look very impressive
but it's really easy to kind of change
resize move things around so I'm going
to resize this town here and it resizes
to a grid so notice I can either make it
this big or this big there's really
nothing in between and trust me that
that works for your benefit it looks
good in the end
and the best part it lays out
beautifully on mobile adventureworks and
I'll say sales variance variance
percentage and variance by month and
this one I'm just going to make it
smaller I don't need that much real
estate so this is a dashboard kind of a
high-level dashboard and you can share
this with somebody you can just type in
their name if they're within your
organization and they've signed up for
power bi usually the name just pops up
or just type in an email address and
you're ready you're ready to go you have
done the three steps let's go back here
you authored a data model you published
it in the cloud and now your power bi
dashboards and reports are ready for
consumption well there's a whole lot
more to this and then we're going to
dive deep into it all of these aspects
about publishing different options
dashboards reports analyzed in Excel all
sorts of fun stuff that's coming later
but for now I want you to give yourself
a pat on the back
really bask in the glory of what you
have just done and trust me this is
magical maybe you can feel that way but
it would if you compare it to the old
way of doing things I have worked in B I
did announce for a long time this whole
process this would be three teams there
would be a team building the data model
and doesn't matter the technology sequel
SSIS SSAS or some other thing right who
cares but this would be a team of people
this would be a team of people who would
be involved about publishing and
maintaining the refresh all of that sort
of stuff and there would be a team of
people building the final and report and
you know what actually no it's not three
teams it's four because there would be
another team and overarching all of this
who project managing the whole thing
right I mean there's so many moving
pieces and all of these things
thingamajigs yeah yeah you need you need
somebody to oversee all of it and it
takes too long and anybody who's being
involved in the process knows how you
know you go to one meeting after the
next it's not a fun process so what used
to be four teams is now one person you
that's the power you hold my friend and
hey with great power comes great
responsibility so handle this power
would care use it for good not for you
hey keep watching more videos and keep
learning power bi but if you did enjoy
this video I would love to hear from you
so leave a comment like subscribe all
the good stuff while we're on my friends
