Hi All,
Just wondering what you found to be best practice when creating a PowerBI dashboard from hard coded excel files.
In short I have to create a new dashboard with work, but the data i have to use is a hard coded table which is updated weekly by simply inserting a new column every week. Is there a way to condese this into a better format? I have attatched a mock up example of the data below with some fake figures.
Any help at all is very much appreciated, thank you.
Hello @Kieran-q_20 ,
