Power BI: Decision Criteria

Day 8 of 30 · Power BI for Beginners: How to create beautiful and useful analysis in minutes

Learning Goal

Use this lesson to build a practical first version of Power BI metric definition sheet. By the end, you should be able to make one clear decision and turn it into a usable Power BI output.

Who

This lesson is designed for beginners who want to learn how to create a simple and useful Power BI metric definition sheet.

What

You will learn how to choose a specific audience, decision, and small set of measures to create a practical Power BI output.

Where

This lesson is available on our website and can be accessed through the Power BI for Beginners course.

When

You can start this lesson at any time, but we recommend completing it within the next 2 weeks to get the most out of the course.

Why it matters

A beginner-friendly starting point matters because Power BI becomes useful only when one specific business question is turned into a simple visual decision tool.

How

To complete this lesson, follow these steps:

  1. Choose a realistic beginner use case.
  2. Define the audience, list the key metrics, and sketch the first layout for Power BI metric definition sheet.
  3. Keep the scope intentionally small and usable.

Guided Exercise

Choose one realistic beginner use case, define the audience, list the key metrics, and sketch the first layout for Power BI metric definition sheet. Keep the scope intentionally small and usable.

Independent Exercise

Adapt the same pattern to your own context. Replace the sample use case with a real reporting need and create your own version of Power BI metric definition sheet.

Self-Check

Check whether your draft is specific, useful, and clearly tied to one real decision. If a stakeholder saw the sketch, would they understand what question it answers and what action it supports?
