Drive Power BI data stories with comics

Drive Power BI data

 

Business Intelligence reports are meant to be read and acted upon by humans. As humans our minds instinctively respond to human emotions more than anything else.

How about if we could use this instinctive response to our advantage when communicating insights from data in Power BI dashboards?

We do just that through the Comicgen plugin.
