Getting closer at the anomaly detection in the data
2022TL; DR
Today it is essential to identify data behavior patterns and detect changes and anomalies in them. Join me in this session, where we will see what anomalies are, why anomaly detection is essential, and how we could detect them. We will analyze various techniques and compare the pros and cons with the help of Power BI Desktop, Power BI Service, R, Python, and Azure Cognitive Services.
Session Details
Today it is essential to identify data behavior patterns and detect changes and anomalies in them.
The first step of the session will be to explain what represents an anomaly in a dataset.
Later, we will analyze various techniques in Power BI Desktop and compare the pros and cons.
1.- We will look at anomaly detection with Power BI Desktop using integrated visualizations,
2.- We will complement with R charts.
The third part will briefly introduce Azure Cognitive Services and a couple of samples of invoking ACS looking at the anomalies using Python script.
In the end, we will look at the anomalies from Power BI Service without any scripting.
This session will be helpful because the audience could learn about the different approaches to looking at the anomalies on the data.

Lets play with a date field & Time Intelligence in Power BI
Date fields play an important role in virtually all cases of advanced analytics. The "problem & solution" style session can be very useful given the large number and variety of scenarios that may arise
Lets do the cleansing with M and / or Python languages
This short session will cover some scenarios of cleansing data in Power Query using M, Python, or both languages.
Some transformations that can save your ETL in Power BI
To build analytical models, we need to start by extracting, transforming, cleaning, preparing and loading the data. This session analyzes a set of scenarios that may happen during the ETL step using the Power Query in Power BI.
