The ICAEW boasts over 150,000 Chartered Accountants globally as members, including over 30,000 in its thriving Data Analytics community. On 1st Feb 2024, Rishi is presenting to this community on Microsoft Fabric.
Power BI is now part of a broader platform called Microsoft Fabric. But what exactly is MS Fabric, and why should you care? In this webinar, Rishi Sapra, a Chartered Accountant turned Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP), will show how you can use this new platform to perform Enterprise level data shaping/cleaning, modelling, and visualisation all from within the same Power BI (and Excel!) environment that you’re already used to. Whether you’re proficient with using languages such as SQL or Python for data analytics, or you prefer the low code options of Power Query and Excel Pivot tables, Rishi will show how in either scenario you can leverage the power of the “lakehouse” in Microsoft Fabric. This data in OneLake can be the single, governed copy of your finance data across the Enterprise that is ready to be queried and analysed by co-pilot. By the end of this webinar, you will understand how this allows the finance team to become “IT enabled rather than IT reliant”. This is achieved by being able to self-serve on not just the visualization layer but on the full end-to-end spectrum of Enterprise data analytics.
