Last Thursday night I had the pleasure of speaking with Gregory Kramer and his friends at the Madison, WI Power BI User Group. We took an introductory look at how Microsoft’s acquisition of Revolution Analytics is making serious waves across the Microsoft data platform. We also walked through leveraging R in Power BI and SQL Server 2016.

New to R & Power BI? Start here.

Below you’ll find links to my session materials and resources:

• Download my PowerPoint slides, Power BI file, and source files
• Download the latest version of Power BI Desktop
• Review the steps for getting started with R visuals in Power BI
• Download SQL Server 2016 CTP 3.2
• Check out the instructions for installing SQL Server R Services
• Check out Berndt Hamboeck’s GitHub for a great example of how R and SQL Server work together

Thank you to all who attended the session! I had a great time and look forward to doing it again in the future!
