SAP Assignment 3
SAP Power BI (Business Intelligence) – Visualizing Data
xx/45 marks = xx/10%
Overview:
You will practice with a large dataset using the Power BI application. Power BI is an interactive data
visualization software developed by Microsoft with primary focus on business intelligence. It is part of
the Microsoft Power Platform. Power BI provides cloud-based BI (business intelligence) services,
known as "Power BI Services", along with a desktop based interface, called "Power BI Desktop".
Microsoft and SAP announced the general availability of Power BI connectivity to SAP BusinessObjects
Bl. This joint business intelligence interoperability solution is delivered in Microsoft Excel, Power BI for
Office 365, and SAP BusinessObjects Bl. While Power BI supports advanced predictive and prescriptive
analytics, the introductory tutorial in your ebook will use Power BI's descriptive analytics operations
such as sort, filter, group, calculate, and graph.
Tasks:
1. Access Power BI. You will be accessing Power BI either through
https://classapps.centennialcollege.ca (GMetrix COMPASS Office) virtual desktop or you may
install a free version if you prefer. Free downloads are available online. Ensure you have the
technical requirements before you install. MAC users check if this is compatible with MAC OS
before installing.
2. Complete the Power BI Analytics Tutorial in course eBook. The data file you require has been
uploaded to eCentennial and in classapps you will need to first open eCentennial and download
the Excel file onto the classapps desktop so you can access it during the tutorial.
3. Create your first visualization as instructed on pages 352-353. (12 marks)
a. Apply Clustered Bar Chart as the visualization type. (2 marks)
b. Ensure you have applied sorting and filtering. Sort by Customer Name (ascending or
descending order, your choice). Ensure data labels are displayed on the bars in the
chart. (2 marks)
C.
Ensure you have filtered by Water Bottles and Repair Kits. See example below. (2 marks)
d. Ensure you have applied formatting as instructed. Format the Title of the chart as
"2020-2022 Revenue for Water Bottles and Repair Kits by Customer Name”. (2 marks)
e. Ensure the size of the chart is enlarged by using Focus Mode. Change the colour of the
bars to something you like (other than blue). Then change the colour on the longest bar
to a different colour than the rest. (2 marks)
f. Save this visualization as "Visualization 1 Your Name" where Your Name is your actual
first and last name. Note, the system may ask you to login to your myCentennial email
account. (2 marks)

5. Analysis as instructed on page 354. (20 marks)
a. Check the first five questions by creating the visualizations needed to obtain the
answers. Did you find the right answers? You should be able to find the same answers
as given in the textbook. You do not include a screen capture for these questions.
b. Complete questions 6 thru 14, include a screen capture of each of the results you
produced when querying the database for answers. Also, provide a brief answer of what
the visualization is displaying (the answer). Paste the screen capture of the visualization
from each of the 9 questions into the same Word document you have been using,
"Power BI Assignment 3" and label each with the question number. (18 marks, 2 marks
each screen/answer)
c. Create a new visualization that queries the data for some new result you have not yet
obtained. Use a chart type you have not used yet. Paste a copy of your visualization into
the Word document. Ensure it has an appropriate title and give a brief explanation of
what the visualization is showing. Note: You do not need to share with another student
nor ask someone else for a question as the textbook suggests. This is an individual
assignment so you can invent a question for yourself. (3 marks)
d. Submit: Upload your Word file to the Assignment 3 dropbox by the due date. You
should have 2 screen visualizations from the first two steps, then an additional 9 screens
with answers to questions, then a final screen for your own visualization question, for a
total of 12 screens, some with explanations when instructed to do so.
