Power BI vs Tableau - A Side by Side Comparison

Having recently attended the Tableau conference, this session will compare and contrast these two powerful BI tools and showcase their pros and cons. We'll walk through ingesting a data set into each tool and perform several visualizations to see how easy or hard it is to tell our data story.

Intro to Power BI

For anyone new to Power BI, we'll cover all the main features and walk through getting data into the tool (using both the desktop and online versions), creating visualizations, turning them into reports and adding them to dashboards.

Intro to Dataverse inside of Power Automate

Microsoft Dataverse (formerly known as the Common Data Service) lets you securely store and manage data that's used by business applications. Data within Dataverse is stored within a set of tables (fka entities). A table is a set of records used to store data, just like data is stored within a database.

Learn how Microsoft Dataverse ties into Power Automate. Create a Flow, see what triggers and actions are available and how you can use this all to move data back and forth between environments such as Microsoft Dynamics and SharePoint!

Client-side web parts are client-side components that run inside the context of a SharePoint page. Client-side web parts can be deployed to SharePoint Online, SharePoint 2019, or SharePoint 2016. HTML, CSS, JavaScript and JavaScript libraries are used to build these web parts.

In this talk, we'll walk through the process of building a client side web part from the ground up. We'll introduce the pieces and parts of the new SharePoint Framework and we'll also cover what you need to get started and how to set up your development environment.

In this presentation, we discuss and demonstrate how to build a web part using Visual Studio and its visual design tools. We'll create a visual web part and use LINQ to SharePoint to retrieve data from a SharePoint list to be displayed in our new visual web part. We'll then build and deploy our web part to a SharePoint site to see it in action!

SharePoint's Hidden Lists

Ever had a workflow email not get sent? What about a user with full control getting an Access Denied message? The answer to these and other mysteries are revealed in this talk where we explore the hidden lists of SharePoint and how the information in these lists can help solves problems like unsent emails from workflow notifications. We'll also show how issues with these lists can cause invalid access permissions and other issues and we'll discuss how to identify and address these problems.

Do you keep creating new views? There is a better way! We'll show you how to create business intelligence using tools you already have, like Excel and Access. We'll connect to SharePoint document libraries and lists and query them like any other data table. We'll show you how to connect to lists like Tasks, Announcements and even Surveys!

SharePoint and Azure - How to Jump Start SharePoint Development Fast and Easy with Cloud Power!

This presentation shows how to use Azure Virtual Machines for hosting a SharePoint 2013 and 2016 farm in the cloud!
