Microsoft Power BI enables analysts to deliver incredible data-driven insights
and visualizations to their organizations. As decision makers recognize the value
of visual analytics produced in Microsoft Power BI, analysts must find ways
of dealing with the increasing volumes and complexity of the data required to
get to these insights and visualizations. For Microsoft Power BI users this is a
critical and often time consuming process. A lot of time spent revolves around
blending data from multiple sources to create an actionable analytic dataset.
Hence, this forces analysts to spend many days dealing with:
• Wasted time waiting for others to get them the right data for their analysis
• Manual preparation and integration of different data sets
• A lack of advanced analytics that many decisions require
Alteryx provides the advanced data blending capabilities required to reduce
the time and effort to create the perfect dataset for a Microsoft Power BI
visualization. This cookbook shows you how you can quickly blend multiple
sources of data in order to create richer visualizations in Microsoft Power BI.

When combined with product and financial data, for example, get visibility into relationships between geographies, sales reps, product performance, and revenue to ultimately optimize profits. Layer on advanced analytic to make predictions about future product sales based on seasonality and other market conditions. To unleash the full power of the CRM and dramatically increase operational performance and top-line revenue, companies are leveraging advanced analytic and data visualization to deliver new insights to the entire sales organization. Moreover, delivering these sales enablement productivity solutions on mobile devices, ensures strong adoption across every sales team. Join us in this webinar to learn how to use MicroStrategy together with Amazon Redshift to build mobile sales productivity solutions for your business.
Self-Service Data Integration with Power Query - SQLSaturday #364 Boston Stéphane Fréchette
Discover, Load, Transform and Mashup. Microsoft Power Query for Excel includes a powerful query engine and a formula language that enables self-service data integration and shaping over a diverse set of data sources. Power Query makes it possible for analysts to do basic ETL by themselves without much help from the IT department. Most common tasks can be accomplished within an intuitive user interface, but a powerful language called “M” can also be used to do some pretty sophisticated data preparation work. Come learn how to succeed and tackle your data and data-shaping needs.
Organizations today are both blessed and cursed by data. But to get insights, you need to unlock the data you have. If you are like most analysts, you are spending hours and hours struggling with “dirty data,” data that needs to be joined together, and data that is in the wrong shape for visualization. And each time the data changes, you have to redo your work. You’re stuck in the “gunk” of preparing data, and you never get out of it to do what you really need to be doing, which is analyzing and visualizing your data and realizing new, deeper insights!

Data blending is important because it allows data analysts
to access data from all the relevant data sources: Big Data,
the cloud, social media, third-party data providers, in-house
databases, department data stores, and more. Historically,
the challenge of data analysts has been accessing this data
and then cleansing and preparing the data for analysis. These
stages of access, cleansing, and preparing data are complex
and time intensive. Easy-to-use software tools that reduce the
burden of this data preparation and turn data blending into an
asset greatly empower the data analyst to become more effective and open new opportunities to the business.
The focus of this book is how data blending is used and what
it can provide the data analyst working to support business
decision makers. I identify what features to look for in data
blending tools and how to successfully deploy these tools and
data blending within your business.

Power of the SAP HANA Platform – Integrating non-SAP data with custom HANA ap...Dickinson + Associates
SAP HANA is a real-time, in-memory database that enables organizations to process “big data” in support of transactional processing, operational reporting, advanced analytics and predictive modeling. With that said, SAP HANA has the potential to be much more than a database. In fact, SAP HANA as platform can serve as an agile, flexible application development framework. This game-changing capability empowers organizations to build advanced applications directly on SAP HANA, leveraging the SAP HANA Extended Application Service (XS). Many clients have integrated SAP ECC data into either a side car approach or a suite on HANA solution, but many of us still haven’t realized the power that can be harnessed for non-SAP Transactional systems.
During this webinar, we will show you how to extract data from your external source systems, using tools such as Data Integrator and SAP Landscape Transformer Replication Server (SLT) and load into the SAP HANA database. From there, we will explain how to leverage the SAP HANA XS Engine to add value to your business through agile development methods. We will show you development tools such as SAP HANA Studio and an introduction to the Web IDE. We will detail the benefits and best practices while demonstrating small portions within the SAP HANA Application Layer.
This webinar will be Part I, where we will introduce how to create the following application:
Deploy a basic SAPUI5 Page
Expose Shipment Tracking data via Odata services
Use an SAPUI5 table element to display the Shipment Data
Integrate Google Maps with the Shipment Tracker Information
This webinar will give you the baseline understanding on each of the components, and then it will allow you to follow up with our secondary videos to give you more step-by-step detail in the creation of the remaining application.

The Importance of MDM - Eternal Management of the Data MindDATAVERSITY
Despite its immaterial nature, data has a tendency to pile up as time goes on, and can quickly be rendered unusable or obsolete without careful maintenance and streamlining of processes for its management. This presentation will provide you with an understanding of reference and master data management (MDM), one such method for keeping mass amounts of business data organized and functional towards achieving business goals.
MDM’s guiding principles include the establishment and implementation of authoritative data sources and effective means of delivering data to various business processes, as well as increases to the quality of information used in organizational analytical functions (such as BI).
To that end, attendees of this webinar will learn how to:
- Structure their data management processes around these principles
- Incorporate data quality engineering into the planning of reference and MDM

Using OBIEE and Data Vault to Virtualize Your BI Environment: An Agile ApproachKent Graziano
First we interview the users, then we design a reporting model based on those interviews. We follow that up with mounds of ETL development to load the new model, basically keeping the user community in the dark during all that development. Does this sound familiar?
This presentation will demonstrate an alternative approach using the Data Vault Data Modeling technique to build a flexible, easily-extensible “Foundation” layer in our data warehouse with an Agile, iterative methodology. Relying on the Business Model and Mapping (BMM) functionality of OBIEE, we can rapidly virtualize a dimensional reporting model using the pattern-based Data Vault Foundation layer to decrease the time, and money, it takes to get BI content in front of end users. Attendees will see a sample Data Vault model designed iteratively and deployed to the semantic model of OBIEE.

6 Steps to Richer Visualizations Using Alteryx for Microsoft Power BI
Microsoft Power BI enables analysts to deliver incredible data-driven insights
and visualizations to their organizations. As decision makers recognize the value
of visual analytics produced in Microsoft Power BI, analysts must find ways
of dealing with the increasing volumes and complexity of the data required to
get to these insights and visualizations. For Microsoft Power BI users this is a
critical and often time consuming process. A lot of time spent revolves around
blending data from multiple sources to create an actionable analytic dataset.
Hence, this forces analysts to spend many days dealing with:
• Wasted time waiting for others to get them the right data for their analysis
• Manual preparation and integration of different data sets
• A lack of advanced analytics that many decisions require
Alteryx provides the advanced data blending capabilities required to reduce
the time and effort to create the perfect dataset for a Microsoft Power BI
visualization. This cookbook shows you how you can quickly blend multiple
sources of data in order to create richer visualizations in Microsoft Power BI.

Quicker Data Blending for Microsoft Power BI with Alteryx
Analysts need to bring together many sources of data in order to get a true view
of a business problem. However, this process can sometimes take weeks
to perform.
Like Microsoft Power BI, Alteryx is built with the analyst in mind, utilizing a
drag-and-drop workflow that does not require coding or technical skills.
Users can take advantage of data in existing systems of record, for example, a
data warehouse, but then blend it with data on their desktop, in cloud systems,
or even from big data systems such as Hadoop. This allows them to quickly
create the specific dataset they need in hours instead of weeks and render it
directly to Microsoft Power BI.
