Interactive Dashboards with Power BI
Transform static spreadsheets into dynamic, clickable visual reports. Learn how to clean messy data, build multi-table relationships, and write flexible calculations that adapt to user interaction.
Like Duolingo, but for Interactive Dashboards with Power BI. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
A short one: 12 levels across 2 sections, about 24 minutes end to end, roughly 5 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Building the Interactive Canvas and Data Modeling and Smart Calculations. It starts from scratch.

Key ideas in Interactive Dashboards with Power BI
- Power BI visuals automatically communicate with each other on the same report page by default
- Clicking an element like a bar or slice cross-filters or highlights related data in other charts on the canvas
- A Power BI card visual displays a single standout aggregate value like total sales
- A line chart displays continuous movement over time
- A bar chart allows easy side-by-side comparison across discrete categories
- Placing single-number KPI cards at the top gives users the executive summary at a glance
- Placing charts in the middle reveals category patterns and trends
- Placing detailed data tables at the bottom allows deeper drill-down without cluttering the initial overview
- A slicer visual places user-facing filter buttons or dropdowns directly on the report canvas
- Slicers let viewers filter dates or categories without opening the backend filter pane
- Power BI tooltips let you show additional contextual metrics when hovering over a data point
- Using a tooltip keeps the main visual clean and readable while still offering deep context on demand
- Power Query records every cleaning action as a sequential step in the Applied Steps pane
- Clicking 'Refresh' in Power BI automatically re-runs that entire sequence on the updated source data
- Transformations are saved as a permanent recipe rather than one-off manual edits
- Power BI visuals and slicers need values to sit in a single column to filter or aggregate over time
