34 - Financial Reporting with Power BI and Excel - Rishi Sapra

In this session Rishi will show how to build an Income Statement in Power BI end-to-end, looking at:

• Capturing requirements for the report and scoping/designing a data model with scattered/inconsistent transaction data
• Use of a “FS Lines” table to have metadata driven financial statements including custom calculations
• Creating Dataflows to ingest data from an on-premise database/files/Web API (for exchange Rates)
• Shaping the data in Power BI Desktop into a General Ledger/Trial Balance with corresponding dimensions and currency conversion
• Creating base measures for Revenue/Profit and corresponding ratios including time-based variations (MTD/QTD/YTD) and Current vs Prior Year calculations
• Defining DAX measures for Running Totals, Category Totals and Custom Calculations
• Applying different number formats for viewing the income statement in reporting currency (USD) vs local currencies (GBP/AUD/EUR)
• Applying conditional formatting for the Income Statement matrix to highlight sub-totals/custom calculation lines differently.
