Emulate qlik datastories

Hi all,

Looking for suggestions as to how we can emulate the qlik datastory feature in power bi.

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/April2018/Subsystems/Hub/Content/StoryTelling/use-data-storytellin...

In a nutshell our marketing dept wants to be able to analyse data and then share findings with target audience, they need to be able to add alot of text commentary alongside visuals and highlight key findings.

We have looked at using the export to PowerPoint functionality but that seems to be a bit clunky, we ideally want a way that's online and avoids creating static documents.

We envisage there will be many of these "stories" created and they will need to be updated if the data changes.

Our marketing team have seen the qlik functionality and have asked us to replicate

Any thoughts appreciated

Hi itchyeyeballs,

 

"We have looked at using the export to PowerPoint functionality but that seems to be a bit clunky, we ideally want a way that's online and avoids creating static documents."

 

<-- You can consider to use power bi to pulish your report and dataset to power bi service and set schedule refresh time(import). So that you don't need to save your PBIX file. You can also use direct query mode so that everytime you refresh your browser, data will be updated to the lastest version.

 

Regards,

Jimmy Tao
