    Hi,

    I am interested in learning about your benefits from using Power BI (Power Query, etc) at closing and in performing data analysis more generally.  Any examples/information would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    Bob

    Bob,

    I used Power BI for Flash and for analytical reporting by business unit as Power BI allows you to bring in data from different sources.  This enabled me to provide KPI's to each operation specific for them and linked to their financial performance.  MS has great tutorials online to learn the tool - also there is a great online community - I highly recommend Power BI and also learning SQL language makes it even more powerful.

    Hope this helps,
