Opinion: Reports aren't tables
I love the way that tools like Power BI have made creating analytics approachable for a much wider range of users. The skills acquired when doing this are a great start for using analytics in enterprises, but an area that I still see missing is data modelling.
What I see users doing is this:
- Decide what the output reports, etc. should look like
- Design tables that match the reports.
And this is where things go wrong.
