Nate’s Take :
Reza shares an important truth early in this session: charts are not the problem. Power BI is an incredible tool for storytelling with data. The real artistry with the tool, however, comes with selecting the right combination of visualizations to most effectively tell your story. I was impressed by the custom visualizations (15:41) possible for developers such as shading areas of a car diagram to indicate damage. And for non-developers, explore grouping fields (11:45), the benefits of ribbon charts (27:30) over other stacked options, using maps with ArcGIS data layers (21:40), and adding the play axis (31:50) to scatter and map visualizations to tell a more impressive story over time.
