Publishing Open Data with PowerBI

Microsoft’s PowerBI is a new tool for creating reports and visualisations.

The desktop application is currently free and publishing data is very easy.

Step 1

Open your data from the wide selection of available sources. We’re going to use OData from StatsWales. This data is published in JSON format.

Step 2

Choose the data to display from the available fields and the type of visualisation. We’re going to use a line chart.
