During this activity, I worked through hands-on lessons that showed me how to connect data from Excel, build reports, and create dashboards that allow users to interact with information in real time. I learned how to use Power BI to turn Excel data into interactive dashboards and how to clean, organize, and present data in a way that helps people make informed decisions. I also developed a better understanding of how data visualization can make \u00a0information easier to interpret. This experience helped me understand how businesses use data to identify trends and communicate insights clearly. The skills I learned will be useful in my future career, where analyzing data, identifying risks, and presenting findings will be an important part of my job.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":29585,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-24","points","type-points","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/djohnson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/24","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/djohnson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/djohnson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/points"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/djohnson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29585"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/djohnson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/djohnson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/24\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/djohnson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
