6 Must Do Steps To improve Accuracy BEFORE using Power BI Report inherited from others

Invest the time to do these steps BEFORE you get started with building data visualisation... and witness improvement in your accuracy.

There are plus & minuses of recycling or inheriting a ready made Power BI report or template, that was build by other people in your team, or by other people and made available for download from Power BI Service... The biggest plus is that there is no need to build everything from scratch and you can save time.

However, we need to use these files with CAUTIONS, as you don't know if everything has been built and set up accurately.

Thus, my advice is, BEFORE we get excited on using the information and or BEFORE we get started on adding more visualisations... remember to always do these 6 important steps.

Invest the time to do these important steps and witness improvements in your accuracy.
