Without further adieu…
What is BI?
• Business intelligence (BI) is a technology-driven process for
analyzing data and presenting actionable information to help
corporate executives, business managers and other end users
make more informed business decisions. BI encompasses a
variety of tools, applications and methodologies that enable
organizations to collect data from internal systems and external
sources, prepare it for analysis, develop and run queries against
the data, and create reports, dashboards and data visualizations
to make the analytical results available to corporate decision
makers as well as operational workers.

Median(X)
Returns the k-th percentile of values in a range, where k is in the
range 0..1, inclusive or exclusive.
You can use this function to establish a threshold of acceptance. For example, you
can decide to examine candidates who score above the 90th percentile.
Syntax:
PERCENTILE.INC (Column, K) or PERCENTILE.EXC (Column, K)
PERCENTILEX.INC (Table, Expression, K) or
PERCENTILEX.EXC (Table, Expression, K)
PERCENTILEX.INC (Product
,[Sum of RevenueAmount],0.9)
Percentile(X)
Returns the count of the specified interval boundaries crossed between
two dates.
Syntax:
DATEDIFF(<interval>, <start_date>, <end_date>)
DATEDIFF
The XNPV function returns the net present value for a schedule of cash
flows that is not necessarily periodic.
Syntax: XNPV(<table>, <values>, <dates>, <rate>)
Present value := XNPV( CashFlows,
[Payment],
[Date], 0.09 )

XNPV
Returns the product of an expression evaluated for each row in
a table.
Future investment= [Sum of RevenueAmount]
* Productx(Rates,1+[Rates])
The PRODUCTX function takes as its first argument a table,
or an expression that returns a table. The second argument is a column that contains
the numbers for which you want to compute the product, or an expression that
evaluates to a column.

CrossFilter( FK, PK, direction )
• Similar to UseRelationship, you can change the filter direction
• Direction: both, one, none
• Calculate( [My measure], CrossFilter( … ) )
DAX Expressions for relationships
Count of Customers = //filters through Sales by default
Calculate( CountRows( Customer ) )
Count of Customers using Region =
Calculate( [Count of Customers],
//Cut filtering between Sales and Customer, then use the inactive relationship
CrossFilter( Sales[CustomerId], Customer[Id], none ),
UseRelationship ( Customer[RegionId], Region[Id] )
)
Count of Customers using Sales and Region =
Calculate( [Count of Customers], //filters through Sales by default
//Filter Customers to only those in remaining Regions
Filter( Customer, Contains( Region, [Id], Customer[RegionId] ) )
)
CrossFilter(FK, PK, direction)

Editor's Notes

  1. Key message: Power BI is a business analytics service. With Power BI you can now see all of your data through a single pane of glass. Live Power BI dashboards and reports show visualizations and KPIs from data residing both on-premises and in the cloud, providing a consolidated view across your business regardless of where your data lives. Talking points: This is Power BI in a nutshell and the overall benefits to your business. We will look at what this means in more detail on the following slides
  2. Power BI is a cloud-based business analytics service that enables anyone to visualize and analyze data with greater speed, efficiency, and understanding. It connects users to a broad range of live data through easy-to-use dashboards, provides interactive reports, and delivers compelling visualizations that bring data to life. Through of the course of the preview over 45,000 companies, 500,000 users, cross 185 countries have used Power BI. That is a decade's worth of growth in last generation business intelligence where I have to go get software, install software, get servers, get analysts involved, get all sorts of people involved before anyone got any value, that's a long road from "I want to do it" to "I've done it". With Power BI, this is an enormous user population of people that are now connected with data in a way that was either previously very difficult or for many impossible. Power BI in many ways is a connector between people and the power of the Microsoft Data Platform including data that lives in our cloud, other peoples clouds, or your on-premise systems and also processed by this wide variety of intelligence analytical capabilities that we have - statistical analysis, machine learning, building custom application - all of this technology and the value of converting data into intelligence flows through Power BI.
  3. Stay connected from any device Power BI mobile apps are available for iPhone, iPad, Android Phone, and Windows 8.1.
  4. Key message: There are several capabilities that differentiate Power BI from other offerings in the market. Talking points: Power BI is a cloud-based analytics service that provides faster time to insight. It is used for visualizing, exploring and extracting insights from data. It brings together data from diverse sources to deliver rich, comprehensive views of business operations. What that means is, with Power BI, you can see all of your data through a single pane of glass, and create an analytics environment in minutes to monitor data and share reports. Live dashboards and reports show visualizations and KPIs from data that reside both on-premises and in the cloud, providing a consolidated view across your business regardless of where your data lives. There are several capabilities that are unique to Power BI – these include: Pre-built dashboards and reports for popular SaaS solutions such as Marketo, Salesforce, GitHub, ZenDesk, Dynamics CRM, and many others Dashboards and visualizations that support real-time updates Secure, live connection to on-premises data sources to drive insight across the entire range of organizational information (Analysis Services, Azure SQL Database, SQL Database Auditing, Azure SQL Data Warehouse) Automated scheduled refresh to keep your Power BI data in sync with on premises data sources Native mobile applications for keeping users connected on the go Easy integration with other Microsoft offerings, from Excel to Azure services Intuitive data exploration, which enables users to ask questions of their data in plain English To summarize, Power BI is a SaaS offering that enables anyone to easily connect to their data, create live operational dashboards and explore data via interactive visualizations
  5. Connect live to on-premises Analysis Services models Realize the benefits of a cloud based BI solution without having to move your data. With the new Power BI connector for Analysis Services you can create a secure connection to SQL Server Analysis Services from Power BI. When users view and explore dashboards and reports the system will interactively query the on-premises cube to fetch the data using the user’s credentials. With this hybrid solution, you can continue to manage and secure your data on-premises, removing the need to have data reside in the cloud. FAQ: How does security work with the new SQL Server Analysis Service connector? Power BI customers can now benefit from the role level security in SQL Server Analysis Services. The Power BI user name is passed through to on-premises Analysis Services and appropriate role-based security. Analysis Services resolves the user name to an authorized user via Azure Active Directory (more info:: http://support.powerbi.com/knowledgebase/articles/505323-why-you-need-dirsync-to-connect-to-on-premises-ana) and then applies appropriate role-based security to restricted access.   How does data transfer work between Power BI and SQL Server Analysis Services? Data is transferred between on-premises Analysis Services and Power BI through the Service Bus (which uses a secure SSL channel). Does the Power BI connector for Analysis Services add security risk by opening a port on the firewall? Service Bus (which is the underlying transport/relay service used in this scenario) only uses an outbound port  -- it does not require an inbound port to be opened on the on-premises firewall. It uses a shared secret mechanism to create a secure channel between cloud and on-prem. Will the SQL Server Analysis Service connector work in IaaS as well? Yes, as long as the IaaS VM is domain-joined and Azure Active Directory DirSync is set up.
  6. Excel is the world’s most flexible and widely used data analysis tool, providing familiarity and flexibility when working with data, and optimized for data gathering / shaping / modeling / and analysis in the context of the Excel grid and native charts and graphs. Excel and Excel Online are fully supported by Power BI. You can publish your workbooks into Power BI to build dashboards and reports. You can also open your workbooks and view them with the full fidelity of Excel Online (note this requires that the customer own a subscription for Excel Online).

  12. Key message: Prepare and explore data intuitively Adjust, or shape, data into the form and format that fits your needs Combine data from different types of data sources to ensure consistent query semantics Mashup data across multiple data sources into a single table to support advanced analysis and reporting Talking points: A few examples – you can adjust data type, remove columns, change table names Use the Applied Steps view in Query Settings to precisely tune how the data is shaped - e.g. adjust the order of data-shaping steps, or remove steps if needed Power Query records your sequence of data exploration activities, making it easy to re-apply them to additional sets of data Modify data types to support specific calculation requirements – some calculations require data in a specific format
  13. Key message: Power BI Desktop enables extensive data analysis, enabling you to produce rich data models using formulas and relationships Talking points: Automatically create a model simply by importing data Power BI Desktop detects relationships automatically, categorizes data and applies default summarization Refine models to enable complex calculations Identify relationships between datasets from a variety of sources Create relationships between tables manually or using the AutoDetect feature Desktop’s AutoDetect feature accelerates your analysis Adjust relationship type (one-to-one, many-to-many or many-to-one) and cross-filter data for specific insights Define calculations – known as measures – to generate new fields for use in reports. Measures create new information from existing data already in your model Measures are used in some of the most common data analysis; for example, sums, averages, minimum or maximum values, counts, or more advanced calculations you create yourself using a DAX formula. The calculated results of measures are always changing in response to your interaction with your reports, allowing for fast and dynamic ad-hoc data exploration You can use automatically generated measures, or create custom measures with Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) formulas This helps you enrich your data model Produce exactly the results you need using the DAX library of 200+ formula elements Develop advanced analytics using a combination of measures and relationships Uncover correlations, highlight exceptions and understand business outcomes

  17. Big Data – City of Barcelona   To help design and deploy its Big Data solution, the city teamed with Bismart, a Microsoft Big Data partner and Microsoft Business Intelligence Partner of the Year. Bismart and Barelona created new services designed to improve efficiency and transparency. These include an Open Data service that collects and centralizes all public information from Barcelona’s City Hall. Another service uses a dashboard with key performance indicators that measure data from 100 systems about topics such as public transportation, the economy, and population demographics. And Barcelona also used the Big Data platform to streamline the planning for Spain’s largest festival, La Mercé, by analyzing petabytes of real-time data from social media feeds, financial transactions, GPS, traffic, and weather data, parking records, web site visits, and more.   Machine Learning – Ziosk Predictive analytics to do targeted marketing and promotions on the Kiosks based on user behavior and historical data. With Power BI each manager would see a different slice of the data, based on his or her role. A Ziosk marketing manager might see an aggregation based on the company’s 77,000 (as of early 2015) devices. A corporate restaurant manager might see data for the entire chain, with breakdowns by region and restaurant. A manager in the restaurant might see data to show where and when to redeploy resources, such as moving a waiter from one section to another to reduce guest wait times.   IoT – Montgomery Water Streaming data into Power BI from sensors across the water system to help optimize operations and cost efficiencies.
