Visualizing Data
So far throughout the book, we have focused on the controlled capture and storage of data through the use of Power Apps. Capturing lots of data, albeit a good commodity to have, can be overwhelming when just looking at potentially millions of lines. Particularly from a reporting perspective, using visualizations to represent our data is a great way of allowing users to understand what the data is telling them without having to read it in its entirety.
Power Apps has a number of ways to create these representations; in this chapter we are going to introduce:
- Using chart controls
- Embedding Power BI into your app
- Lab 13
By the end of this chapter, you will have an understanding of the options available to you to make your data easier to understand, and the options on how and where you present them.
To get us started, let’s discuss why analyzing our data is important.
