Description
I will be using a QuickBooks Desktop sample file to show you how to begin modeling your financial data in PowerBI.Starting with a Profit and Loss Statement we customize in three ways: Comparative time periods, a Gross Profit Analysis Version and an EBIDTA version.You'd need to be an IT professional (or pay one) in order to create a set of Power BI Financial statements that has a direct connection into the QuickBooks back-end. Whether it is QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop, when you access the data from the back-end you'll find over 100 tables of data that need to be interrelated back together in order to yield any sensible reports! My step-by-step method works around all that. I let the software do a lot of the work and extract the data from the front end, saving a ton of time and complexity in Power BI - getting you using the software to automate your reports FAST and EASY.This method is something ANY ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONAL can learn to create and maintain. When you see how easy it is to create a completely customizable Profit and Loss statement and automate some of your complex calculations and reports, you will want to learn more. This method will give you an introduction to Power BI that delivers results right away. It will empower you with the skills to automate some of your most time-consuming tasks and give you a base to build on as you go on to learn more.
