Power BI Snax

While administering a Power BI implementation I assembled, I decided to begin to educate my users towards a bit of self-service.  It took some time to decide the exact path to follow, which turned out to be simply writing about it.  

The goal was to offer a simple learning path for end users that had very little experience beyond Excel, to help them better understand a better alternatives to that often clunky and awkward application.  For me, Excel is the equivalent of Lotus 1-2-3.  It was good for its time, but that time has passed.

What followed was a series of short articles that I dubbed "Power BI Snacks."  I had no idea that someone else had already started a similar series, until about half-way along. However, those articles, written by Mina Saad, are geared towards a bit more advanced user though.  Admittedly, I hijacked a few of his graphics, but none of his snacks; all are my own.

At the time of this writing, I have published 10 editions for the 75 or so users that I support.  They are listed below, and this page will be updated with future posts towards that effort.  All are published in this blog first, under the Power BI tag, then re-posted over to my Storyline in Microsoft Teams.
