Microsoft Power BI
Our analytics tool of choice for select projects — turning monitoring and evaluation data into actionable insights for decision-makers.
Overview
Microsoft Power BI is one of the analytics tools we deploy on selected client engagements. It connects directly to our CAPI data collection outputs, HoneyGuide quality databases, and client administrative systems to deliver real-time and scheduled insights.
Our Power BI implementations go beyond simple chart building. We design star-schema data models, build complex DAX measures for programme-specific KPIs, and implement row-level security so each stakeholder sees exactly the data they need — from field supervisors monitoring daily collection progress to ministry officials reviewing national indicators.
Capabilities
Interactive Dashboards
Real-time and scheduled-refresh dashboards with drill-down, cross-filtering, and conditional formatting for monitoring programme KPIs.
Data Modelling
Star-schema data models connecting multiple data sources — survey databases, CAPI exports, administrative systems, and geospatial data — into a unified analytical layer.
DAX & Advanced Analytics
Calculated measures, time-intelligence, cohort analysis, and statistical summaries using DAX for complex indicator calculations required by development programmes.
Geospatial Visualisation
Map-based visualisations showing facility locations, survey coverage, enrolment rates, and programme reach across districts, regions, and countries.
Row-Level Security
Role-based data access ensuring regional managers see only their data while national administrators see consolidated views — critical for government and donor reporting.
Automated Reporting
Scheduled report generation and distribution via Power BI Service. Paginated reports for formal donor submissions alongside interactive analytics for programme teams.
