Build conditional functions to make data
Learn how to create powerful insights from imperfect data by building conditional logic in Power BI. In this Data Survival Skills session, Robin demonstrates how to merge CSV and Excel sources, bringing together wholesale costs and order details into a unified dataset. By walking through step-by-step examples, she shows how to build conditional columns that flag products sold at, above, or below suggested retail, calculate price differences, and scale those differences across quantities sold. You’ll also see how to use filters and slicers to quickly measure gains and losses from pricing decisions, uncovering the real impact on revenue. This approach equips you to transform scattered data into meaningful analysis, helping you design smarter reports and make more informed business decisions.
