Using PowerBI for resource management

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to use PowerBi to create a dashboard for my department that will show assignments sorted in a couple different views:

 

1. by creative resources

2. by project name/initiative

3. by department

 

I'm a new user so have no idea where to begin. Can anyone out there help me?

 

Thanks so much!

    1 First you need the data source (SQL, Excel, CSV, or Another)

     

    2 Look if you need to do some transformation to the data.

     

    3 Create the visuals ad if necessary the measures.

     

     

    Post questions or sample data and the expected result and the community will help you

       Thank you for your quick response! Do Ineed to create a spreadsheet for each view I want to show on the dashboard, or can the dashboard pull the info differently for each view I want to show? If not, do I need to create the same table on 3 different spreadsheets to pull into Power BI correctly?

        If the data to use is the same for each view and only change the visuals, you only need 1 spreadsheet.

         

        With only 1 table (if this have all the data that you need) you can do it

      Hello, 

       

      In managing resources, I have an exccel file with all of the teams and projects everyone is one. 

      One of the views I am working to build is, if I select an initiative, i want to know whose on the team, but I also want to show where those other team members are allocated to. 

       

      For example: Myra is in X but also in the following teams. 

      Team A.

      Team B. 

       

      With this information the teams can reallocate resources as needed quickly. 

       

      I tried building a filter, but it only gives me for that one initative. is there a DAX, that can capture on a different view, the other infomation I need. 

       

      Thank you
