Part 4: Publish Visualizations online with Power BI

Some take-aways from the visualizations

There is a lot to learn from our follow up of Mr X!

(Don’t take these too seriously – this is a made up example!)

There are some very clear correlations

• Mood gets better on days that Mr X eats higher quality food and exercises
• The less carbs Mr X eats, the more weight loss – but at the same time his mood goes down!
• Fun is clearly related to Productivity

The long term follow up leads to new questions

• Mr X has made some clear progress on his weight and running – loosing 12 kg and lowering his km average more than 30 seconds. Well done!
• Still, his mood has gone down over time. Strangely enough his stress load is down as well.
• Does Mr X need more challenge to feel good?
• Lots of sick days in the beginning of both 2015 and 2016 – why is that?

Keeping Power BI visuals updated when data is added

To keep our visuals up to date with the latest information we have to do some configurations in Power BI online.
