Using Power BI to track the recent floods across eastern Australia

The "Power BI and Data Analytics for Enviros" meetup group is all about sharing tips, tricks and hacks for analysing, visualising and communicating environmental data. The purpose of this blog is to summarise the key take-aways from the sessions, to help with sharing knowledge, empowering others and creating a strong data culture across our community.

Session Summary

For our December 2022 session, we were joined by Matt Allington (Microsoft MVP Data Platform - Sydney, Australia) who shared his Power BI report presenting streamflow data from the most recent October floods that impacted much of Australia. Matt discussed several elements of the study and Power BI report, including:

  • How the data was accessed and loaded into Power BI;

  • How the data was used;

  • Some challenges along the way;

  • Some of the tricks used to present the key insights from the study!

Matt has been posting daily updates about impacts to the Big Bend region through his YouTube channel, which you can refer to here: Excelerator BI YouTube

Our thoughts remain with anyone that has been or is being impacted by these devastating floods, especially those within our meetup community❤️ !
