Scenario: Retrieving data from Web Site / Blog URL

a) Identify the URL and Tables

b) Get Data-->Web--> http://www.vinaytechhouse.com/register-today.html
c) Choose Tables [Document ignore]
d) Load [ this will take structure and data]

Scenario: Getting data from Flat file, Generate Report, and publish it.

Open Desktop
Get Data--> Text/ Csv--> Browse to file [Party_Src.csv]
File Origin: Country and Code page [Language charset]
Delimiter: Separator in the file data [comma, space, tab space, pipe etc...]
Data type Detection: First 200 rows [Default option]
System identifies the data type based on first 200 rows of the column values.
Ex:
Assume you have 1000 records, first 200 are textual data next 200 are dates and the other are
numeric. It will take Textual data because of first 200 columns
Real-time usage: If we detect properly, you can apply calculations easily [Normal and DAX].

Click Load [ this will take structure and data]

Go to Data view and see the accuracy of data, if it not good then go for Edit Queries to move
into Power Query Area [ETL Area where it load and operates in in memory using Vertipaq
engine]
Queries--> Right Click--> Remove Top Rows (2) -->Step1 added in the right-hand side
Right Click--> Use First Row as Headers → Step2 added in the right-hand side
Close and Apply

Go to Report view, take table and drag and drop fields [PARTYID, PARTYNAME, PARTYLOC and
PARTYINCOME] from field’s pane into Values section.
Ensure aggregation unchecked (Sum or Avg or Count etc...) for PARTYID, PARTYNAME,
PARTYLOC AND PARTYINCOME.

[Vinaytech_Business_Details_Dataset.xls]
Get Data--> Excel-->Browse to the file--> Tick mark the below dimension and fact tables
DimDate,DimCourse, DimCourseModeID, DimLocation, DimStudent and FactPayments

Scenario: Getting data from Excel and Generate Report. [Budget.xls]

Open the sheet and observe.

Always dataset require columns and values [No aggregate information or any], please apply
transformations to make that data as proper columnar data.

Observations:
We never maintain row level aggregate data, so remove those Sub values.
We never maintain date values column wise, so transpose / convert columns to rows [Unpivot]
Get data--> Excel--> Browse to Excel file (Budget.xls)--> Choose the Sheet--> Edit -->
Implement the below

POWER BI ALL DATA FEEDS PRACTICE [VIDEO ASSISTANCE REQUIRED] 4

1) Row Transformations

a) Remove top 2 rows

b) Use first row as headers
c) Go to First Column [Ex: category] -->Rc-->Filter-->Uncheck the SubTotalCategory,
SubTotalBikes, SubTotalCloths and GrandTotal boxes

2) Column Transformations

Highlight first four columns --> right click--> Unpivot other columns, so that Month column
values converted into Row Values.

Scenario: Create a query by retrieving from JSON file [Semi structured]

JSON: Java Structured Object Notation

1.Semi Structured file

2.Contains Attributes and Properties
3.System reads in a different way, so we need to handle based on the situation.

1) Get Data→ specify other options→JSON→ Choose products.json file

2) Click on List, s that it will show you records in a column
3) Click to table on top
4) Go to the expand symbol→click→choose columns [all or required], now the table is

Generating table using coding

There are two ways

a) DAX language code [DATA ANALYSIS EXPRESSIONS: Suitable for Modeling and
Analysis]
b) Mashup language code [M-Language code: Suitable for Extraction and
Transformation]

Power BI Languages

Power BI uses two types of languages majorly

a) DAX [ Data Analysis Expression] Language

Purpose:

This is helpful to model and analyze data.

What we do?

It creates new measures (single value component) / new columns

(multiple values in a column) / new table (multiple columns in a table)

What it contains?

Similar to other languages it has elements (operators, keywords,

functions, data types etc...)

Mostly we use functions in the DAX [Functional or Formula language]

#506-B, Nilgiri Block, Aditya Enclave, Ameerpet, Hyd. Ph: 040 66638869/ 9573168449
POWER BI ALL DATA FEEDS PRACTICE [VIDEO ASSISTANCE REQUIRED] 6

b) Mashup Language [M-Lang]

Purpose:

Helps us to implement extraction and transformation operations

What we do?

This helps to work with columns and rows.

What it contains?

It contains multiple elements and a programming hierarchy [ It is a

programming language]

Mashup contains multiple Libraries, Libraries contain classes, classes contain

methods.

Library---> Class--> Method

Scenario: Create a list [Mashup] and convert to table using Blank Query

Get data--> Blank Query--> Expression bar =List.Numbers(2005,20)

Now it will generate a list with the values between 2005 and 2025.

To convert to table, home ribbon →click TO Table icon and press ok.

Note: Add columns and write expressions to get desired result

DATABASES AND USAGE IN REAL-TIME AND POWER BI PROJECTS

There are three types of databases

a) Relational Database [Data in the form of normal tables]

b) Multidimensional Database [Data in the form of dimension and fact tables in a cube]
c) No SQL Databases [Data in the form of files and other formats]

Relational Databases:

Oracle, SQL Server, Teradata etc.

Cube Databases:

MSBI-SSAS [Multidimensional & Tabular], SAP Netviewer, SAP HANA, Hyperion Cubes etc.

NO SQL Database:

Dynamo DB, Mongo DB etc.

Working on SQL Server Database [Simple Practice]

It requires
a) SQL Server Database Engine Installation
b) SQL Server Management Studio [SSMS]
This studio is suitable to work with multiple databases [Normal, Cube, DQ, MDS etc.]

Note: Install the above by following the video and Installation Documents.

#506-B, Nilgiri Block, Aditya Enclave, Ameerpet, Hyd. Ph: 040 66638869/ 9573168449
POWER BI ALL DATA FEEDS PRACTICE [VIDEO ASSISTANCE REQUIRED] 13

Important points to remember:

a) To work with Relational databases, we need SQL [Structured Query Language]

b) To work with Multidimensional databases, we need MDX [Multidimensional Expression
Language]
c) To work with Tabular databases, we need DAX [Data Analysis Expression]

Working on SQL Server Database [Simple Practice]

Open SQL Server Management Studio→ Server Type: Database Engine→Connect,

Click on New Query and execute each statement by pressing F5 or clicking execute icon.

How many ways we get data In Power BI?

a)Import mode (choose tables or views / write query / call procedure)

b)Direct Query (choose tables or views / write query / call procedure)

Get the SQL Server Details:

Instance Name, Database name, Object Name / View / Procedure

Get Data--> SQL Server-->
Instance Name: DESKTOP-RN4SMHT\VINAYTECH_2017
Database Name: VINAYTECH_DEV_Business_Details

Import

Choose the tables to Load / Edit

Database Views:

a) Logical object / window to tables / virtual object

b) No data inside view, it has just one Select Statement Structure

c) When we call view (using simple select), it hits the database and execute the select statement
inside body and retrieves data.

Create like below in SSMS--> Vinaytech_Business_Details database

SCENARIO: Practice Modes [Import, Direct Query and Connect Live]

a) Import: [Two ways]

Get data->SQL Server-> Import-> choose tables-> Load

1st Way:

Get data->SQL Server-> Import-> choose tables-> Load

2nd Way:

Get data->SQL Server->Import -> go to advanced specify timeout and write query-> Load

b) Direct Query: [Two ways]

1st Way:

Get data->SQL Server-> Direct Query-> choose tables-> Load

2nd Way:

Get data->SQL Server-> Direct Query-> go to advanced specify timeout and write query->
Load

c) Connect Live: [Two ways] For Analysis Services Only

1st Way: Get data->SQL Server Analysis Services-> Connect Live-> choose tables-> Load

2nd Way:

Get data->SQL Server Analysis Services-> Connect Live-> Go to advanced specify MDX query
for Multidimensional model/ DAX for Tabular model> Load

What are the things we need to collect when we work with cubes?

Identify Multidimensional or Tabular cube

a) Multidimensional cube
1) Server name 2) Cube database name 3) Tables or MDX query
MDX—Multidimensional Expressions

b) Tabular cube
1) Server name 2) Cube database name 3) Tables or DAX query
DAX—Data Analysis Expressions
