WWW.OFFICE.COM/SETUP BLOGS: www.office.com/setup Blogs: In this module, you will learn how to use the Calendar Visualization Power BI Custom Visual. The Calendar Visualization is a very unique visual that allows you to show the distribution of values across a calendar. MODULE 11 - CALENDAR VISUALIZATION DOWNLOADS Power BI Custom Visual - Calendar Visualization Dataset - Sales by Date.xlsx Completed Example - Module 10 - Calendar Visualization.pbix KEY TAKEAWAYS Allows you to visualize a data point on each date on the calendar. The darker the color, the higher the value or density of values. If you have multiple rows on the same date, they are aggregated together The Calendar Visualization can be used for cross filtering. Meaning you can select a square in the calendar and it will filter other visuals down to the date you picked. image - www.office.com/setup This shows a business which has a much higher number of sales occurring on weekdays. Saturday is a particularly weak sales day and no sales occur on Sunday. You should note when you use a date column into Power BI that by default it places it into a date hierarchy. For the purposes of the Calendar Visualization, this hierarchy is not helpful because you need all the values to be at a date level and not Year, Month, etc… To turn off the auto generated hierarchy for this visual, click the down arrow next to the Date field and turn off the Date Hierarchy option as shown below. image - www.office.com/setup This only applies to this one visual so if you bring in Date again it will auto generate the hierarchy again. Or you can change the Power BI settings so it never auto generates date hierarchies for you again. To do this go to File > Options and settings > Options > Data Load and then uncheck Auto Date/Time. image - www.office.com/setup Under the Format paintbrush there are minimal options for customizing the appearance of the Calendar Visualization. The Cells color section gives you the abil

A since deceased, highly-regarded fellow faculty member, Anthony (Tony) Athos, occasionally sat on a bench on a nice day at the Harvard Business School, apparently staring off into space. When asked what he was doing, ever the iconoclast, he would say, "Nothing." His colleagues, trained to admire and teach action, would walk away shaking their heads and asking each other, "Is he alright?" It is perhaps no coincidence that Tony often came up with some of the most profound insights at faculty meetings and informal gatherings. This story captures much of the sense of the responses to this month's question about why managers don't think deeply. The list of causes was much longer than the list of proposed responses. But in the process, some other questions were posed. Ben Kirk kicked off the list of reasons for the phenomenon when he commented, "… what rises to the top levels are very productive and very diligent individuals who tend not to … reflect and are extremely efficient at deploying other people's ideas," implying that this type of leader is not likely to understand, encourage, or recognize deep thinking in others. Adnan Younis added the possibility that "… managers are not trained for it." Dianne Jacobs cited the possibility that persisting assumptions borne out of success serve as "roadblocks to act on needed change" (proposed by those who engage in deep thinking?). Ulysses U. Pardey, whose comment triggered my recollection of Tony Athos, wrote that "Time-for-thinking is a special moment which can be resource consuming and an unsafe activity …" (Fortunately, Athos held a tenured position in an academic organization.) A number of comments alluded to the triumph of bureaucracies and large organizations over deep thinking. As Lorre Zuppan said, "I think Jeff Immelt's efforts to protect deep thinking reflect a nice sentiment but … If his team could carry the ball, would he need to announce that he's protecting it?" Tom Henkel was more succinct: "Ther

This post is brought to you by Seayoung Rhee, Product Marketing Manager in the SharePoint Product Marketing Group. Reliable business intelligence and insight are key to a thriving business. Excel, SharePoint and Office 365 make business intelligence (BI) in the new Office more accessible to everyone across an organization as part of their everyday work.
