Power BI
NOTE: All you can do is view the data in various different ways in the reports. You cannot do any damage as the data is protected so feel free to explore the reports by clicking on the various items and filters on a page to see what you can discover!
Please note that although the following reports are all running from a tool called Microsoft Power BI, there are other tools which can be used.
Sample Retrofit:
– sample retrofit report on my website – password is Aberdeen. The report was created for a data talk I presented in Aberdeen in 2023 so some of the pages will mention technical items which can be ignored.
– short version of same report on Microsoft’s Data Gallery
Sample Snagging
– sample snagging report – password is AberdeenRepairs. The client was involved in fixing snagging issues. The sample report contains random information purely as a means to demonstrate the type of information which could be included in a report. No information has been added since last year therefore to see figures on some pages, on the homepage in the Options menu you may have to select ‘Last’ year rather than the default ‘This’ year.
Navigating the reports
To find more information on a page:
– hover over items
– some of the diagrams are interative such that if you click on an item, the page should update to show information relating to the selection
– if you right click on an item within most charts, ‘Show data point as a table’ will appear as an option which provides a more detailed view similar to an Excel layout.
Clicking on the refresh button or refreshing the browser window brings you back to the original view.
