Description

Hierarchies (and graphs) are the bread and butter of most business applications and you find them almost everywhere:

• Product Categories
• Sales Territories
• Calendar and Time
• Paths on a map

In Power BI Desktop you can transform such data into useful information via several approaches: standard & custom visuals, hierarchy slicers, hierarchies in the data model, parent-child hierarchies, etc.
Join this session for a journey through best practices to transform your hierarchies (and graphs) into useful reports. We will have fun playing around with a sample database based on G. R. R. Martin’s famous “A Game of Thrones”.
