At the 11th Annual KTL User Conference, I will be presenting a session on Power BI and Dynamics CRM data. The main goal is to give users an easy way to present information in a timely and simple-to-understand format. In the session, using Power BI, we will cover the process of building and accessing refreshable dashboards with information from Dynamics CRM and Dynamics GP. In the session we will discuss/demo the following:
· Connecting to Online CRM
· Model the data by organizing, consolidating and transforming the datasets
· Visualizing the data
· Enhancing the clarity with filters and slicers
· Adding Dynamics GP data
Connecting to Online CRM
In Connecting to your data, we will go over how to connect your Online CRM data and return the SystemUserSet, LeadSet, OpportunitySet and AccountSet.
Model the data by organizing, consolidating and transforming the datasets
In Modeling your data, we will clean up the datasets by formatting columns and data types, creating custom calculation columns and merge datasets.
Visualizing the data
In Visualizing the data, we will be improving the look and feel by adding charts, tables and custom visuals, by adding different visualization options to sales productivity reports and dashboards.
Enhancing the clarity with filters and slicers
In Enhancing the clarity, we will improve the interactivity of the reports and dashboards by adding filter and slicers.
Adding Dynamics GP data
In Adding GP data, we will connect to our GP SQL data to provide sales accounts receivable and payment information.
