Session

Ingesting Data w/ Power BI

In this session I will be demonstrating how easy Power BI lets you ingest almost anything; from simple files to complex multi-file scenarios. The Power BI Desktop application lets you solve 80% of the challenges you have with data via the GUI, and the other 20% we will deal with using the Advanced Editor. We will spend time in both accordingly.

In detail we will be looking at these topics:
Straight up file (csv, xlsx)
Scraping Web Page Data (html)
Header/Footer issues
Variable number of columns
Multiple File Formats (think historical changes)
Binding Multiple Imports into a single table
Crude Error handling

Attending this session you'll learn the basics of Power BI Desktop, as well as some neat tricks to get through the more complex scenarios.
