DATA ANALYSIS WITH POWER BI

Null Value Imputation
• Missing values from table can be dealt by
mainly two methods:
1. Replace
2. Remove
• To replace the missing values in table, there
are 2 functions in Power Bi:
1. Fill down
2. Fill up
Append Query
• Append will join the table row wise.
Append Query
Merge Query
• Merging Queries in Power BI is the process of combining columns from two
or more tables based on a common field (like a JOIN operation in SQL). This
is useful when you want to enrich one table with additional information
from another table.

You have two tables:


1.Product Sales Data that lists products sold along with their sales amounts
and product IDs.
2.Product Details that contains additional information about each product,
such as the product name, category, and price, also identified by the product
ID.
You want to merge these two tables based on the Product ID.
Merging
• Left Anti join: A Left Anti Join in Power BI can be thought of as finding the rows in one table that do
not have a matching row in another table.

Merging
• Right Anti join: A Right Anti Join is the opposite of a Left Anti Join. It returns rows from the second
table that do not have a matching row in the first table.

Merging
Group By
In Power BI, the Group By operation allows you to summarize your data based
on one or more columns, enabling you to perform calculations like sum,
average, count, etc.
Pivoting
Pivoting : Pivoting is the process of transforming data from a long (or vertical)
format to a wide (or horizontal) format by turning unique values from one
column into multiple columns.
In the pivoted table:
•The "Region" values (North, South, East) have become new columns.
•The corresponding "Sales" values are placed under each region for every month.
•The "Month" column remains as the identifier for each row.
Unpivoting
Unpivoting in Power BI is the process of transforming data from a wide format to a long
format. This is the reverse of pivoting. It’s useful when you have columns that represent values
(like months or years) and you want to turn them into rows, making the data easier to analyze.
Scenario:
You have a table where sales data is stored in a wide format with months as columns. You
want to convert the months into rows to make it easier to analyze and visualize.
Unpivoting
Objective:
You want to convert the month columns (January, February, March) into rows, so you have a
single "Month" column with the corresponding sales amount for each product.
Transpose

• Transposing in Power BI (or Excel) is the process of flipping the rows and
columns of a table. This is useful when you want to switch the orientation of
your data for better analysis or to meet specific reporting requirements.

• Transposing in Power Bi has 3 steps:


• Demote header
• Transpose
• Promote headers
Transpose
Data Modeling

• Data modeling in Power BI refers to the process of connecting different


data sources, defining relationships, and structuring the data in a way that
supports efficient analysis and reporting. It involves creating a logical
structure that allows users to easily navigate and query the data to extract
meaningful insights.
Cardinality
• Cardinality in data modeling refers to the nature of relationships between tables,
specifically indicating the number of instances of one entity that can be associated
with instances of another entity. In Power BI, cardinality is essential for defining how
data tables relate to each other and how they should be joined. Understanding
cardinality helps in creating accurate and efficient data models.
• Types of cardinality in Power Bi:
• One to One
• One to Many
• Many to One
• Many to Many
One to One
One to Many
Many to One
Many to Many In this scenario, authors can write
multiple books, and each book can
have multiple authors.
Creating Hierarchy

• Hierarchies in Power BI are important for several reasons, as they enhance


data analysis, visualization, and overall usability of reports and dashboards.
Here are some key reasons why hierarchies are important in Power BI:
• Improved Data Organization
• Enhanced Drill-Down Capabilities
• Simplified Reporting and Analysis
• Better Data Insights
• Time-Saving
• Improved User Experience
Drill Options

In Power BI, drill options refer to the various interactive


features that allow users to explore data at different levels
of detail within a hierarchy. These options enable users to
navigate from summary-level data to more detailed,
granular data and vice versa. The primary drill options in
Power BI are:

1. Drill Down:
2. Drill Up
3. Drill Through
