Storytelling With Data (SQL Bits 2022)

Based on the article The Art of Storytelling: TED Talks vs Data Visualisation (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/art-st…), Rishi walks through the core structure of a gripping story showing how this translates into Power BI using e.g. pre-attentive attributes, presenting data as arguments (Rather than just statements) and providing a ‘so what’ conclusion to the story.

He will use examples from the Power BI data stories gallery to highlight what we can learn about applying these techniques in real-life.

Note that this session was first presented at the Power Platform World Tour in London in August 2019 though has since been presented at other conferences including Data Weekender in November 2021
