This was inspired by @paulag's [November Supper Supporter and Minnowsupport Report](https://steemit.com/minnowsupport/@paulag/november-supper-supporter-and-minnowsupport-report).

This also aims to be my primer in using PowerBI. I am more comfortable in using Excel, however, in terms of growth, I'm pushing myself to learn Power BI.

I posted this analysis to inculcate this - **No matter how small your vote value is, I encourage you to up-vote @utopian-io's posts and comments.**

If you decide to not up-vote @utopian-io's posts and comments, to whom are you [paying it forward](https://steemit.com/stewardsofgondor/@abh12345/fulltimegeek-s-making-a-list-and-checking-it-twice)?

### Lessons Learned in Using Power BI:

* It's more difficult to create reports in Power BI. Before you are able create an image, you need to first publish (upload) your report which takes some time.
    * I had to resort to using Window's Snipping tool and capturing the raw report from Power BI
* It takes time to publish reports using Power BI most specially for slow internet connections
* One needs to familiarize himself with the functionality within Power BI.
    * Creating of new columns to convert timestamp to date
    * Creation of new measures (e.g., to add two columns from the same table field but with different calculations - e.g., total votes and average of vote weight)
    * Formatting of text sizes, background colors, etc.
