Power BI Dashboard Development with Real-World Data

🔌 API - Application Programming Interface
API
Application Programming Interface
An API is a set of protocols, tools, and definitions that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. In Power BI, APIs enable us to connect to external data sources, retrieve real-time data, and integrate various services seamlessly. APIs act as intermediaries that allow applications to request and exchange data efficiently and securely.
📊 Data Source & Analysis

🔗 COVID-19 Data Source

Comprehensive data on COVID-19 cases, deaths, and recoveries by country and territory

📥
Data Loading

Load: When data should be clean

  • Import cleaned and validated data
  • Ensure data quality before loading
  • Remove duplicates and errors
  • Standardize formats and values
  • Optimize for performance
🔧
ETL Tool

Extract, Transform, Load

  • Extract data from multiple sources
  • Transform and clean the data
  • Load into destination system
  • Automate data pipelines
  • Schedule regular refreshes
🌐
Web Data Import

Wikipedia COVID-19 Data

  • Connect to web data source
  • Extract tables from Wikipedia
  • Parse HTML content
  • Transform into usable format
  • Create dynamic connections
Power Query Editor

🔍 Power Query Editor: ETL Tool

Power Query Editor is Microsoft's powerful ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tool integrated into Power BI. It provides a visual interface for data transformation and cleansing operations.

Key Features: Data shaping, column operations, filtering, merging, appending, and custom transformations using M language.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Cannot use Ctrl+Z in Power Query Editor

Unlike traditional applications, Power Query Editor doesn't support the standard Ctrl+Z undo function. Instead, you must use the Applied Steps panel to remove or modify transformation steps.
