I started looking into Microsoft Power BI for work, and thought I'd use some data from
my website as a test. I was very impressed at how powerful and easy to use Power BI is.
There's a lot of functionality packed in there by default.
For example, date data is imported in a heirarchical nature, so the graph, which is
currently showing the number of posts by year, can be reorganized to show posts by month
and posts by day of the month. (The graph showed me that I tend to post significantly
more to interests topics on the 7th of the month than I do on any other day. I wonder
why that is?)
One can also highight certain topics on the graph by clicking on them in the legend.
Clicking on a topic will fade the other topics in the graph, which helps the data you
want to see stand out.
There are some things I could clean up inside the data here (like the legend), but
considering I threw this together with raw data, I'm really impressed with how easy
this was to make!
