Using PowerBI to Build Reports from the NextGen Database

NOTE: This class was presented during the 2017 NextGen User Group Meeting on Tuesday, November 7, 2017.

Contains course materials from the UGM 2017 Presentation EPM 200 - Using Microsoft Reporting Tools to build Reports from the NextGen Database.

This class covered concepts related to creating, populating, and structuring data for a Data Warehouse, and using Microsoft's Power BI product to import and analyze that data.

The resulting Report was shared using one of the Power BI publishing mechanisms called "Publishing to Web", which both FREE and PRO User Accounts of Power BI can do. We created a Tiny URL to more easily access the report.
