Tutorial - Plotting Shots in Power Bi using R

Hi all, last time we created a nice shot plot using the built-in scatter plot for Power Bi. Today we will take things a step further, using the R Custom Visual in Power Bi. This visual allows you to use R code to create a visual however you want, with that visual interacting with the slicers on your page.

Power Bi - Importing Data

For this new post I decided to make a video tutorial of importing data from a csv in to Power Bi. The video itself is basic, and will appear at the bottom of this post, but I will accompany it below with a few steps and a guide of how I import data in to Bi. For those eagle eyed viewers, you will notice the data I am importing and use is from the recently released StatsBomb Messi dataset, which you can find more about here and can read my tutorial on importing StatsBomb data in to R here.

Power Bi - What is it and how useful could it be?

What is Power Bi? Today I would like to introduce something new on to my blog, Power Bi. Some of you might have heard of this software, but for those who haven’t, Power Bi was developed by Microsoft to provide Business Inteligence software to compete with Tableau and others on the market. Power Bi uses a drag and drop based interface providing an easy to pick up interface for users.
