LEO5312 · Data reporting, presentation, and dashboards

Overview

Data reporting and presentation plays a vital role in the data analytics cycle. This unit develops advanced skills in the use of Power BI for the exploration, analysis, and presentation of data for decision making. Specifically, it focusses on transformation of raw data into a worked form for initial visualisation and descriptive analysis. It then moves through the data analytics cycle to provide instruction for intensive use of Power BI to generate reports and dashboards in alignment with stakeholder needs. Examples of analysis, visualisation and reporting using Power BI will be included as a foundation for you to design and execute your own application of reporting and presentation.
