- 6. 6 What is Python? • An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language • Combines power with a straight-forward, easy to understand syntax • Is portable to Windows, Linux and MacOS • Is fully extensible with C or C++ • Named after Monty Python’s Flying Circus 6
- 7. 7 Why Python with Power BI? • Can help with automation, creating visuals and creating machine learning modules • Using Python allows access to additional visualizations libraries • When combined with Power Query, Python can be used for data cleansing, advanced data shaping and predictions and clustering 7
- 8. 8 Installing Python • A base installation of Python is required • Requires two Python packages before scripts can be used: • Pandas • A software library for data manipulation and analysis. It offers data structures and operations for manipulating numerical tables and time series • Matplotlib • A plotting library for Python and its numerical mathematics extension NumPy • Provide an object-oriented API for embedding plots into applications using general- purpose GUI toolkits – e.g. Tkinter, wxPython, Qt, or GTK+ 8
- 9. 9 Configuring Python for Power BI Once Python and associated libraries are installed, configure Power BI 9
- 10. 10 Data creation Python scripts can be used to either hard code data frames or a connection script can be created to use existing data sources 10
- 11. 11 Python visualizations To create visuals with Python, we leverage pandas and matplotlib 11
- 12. 12 Matplotlib An open-source library that allows users to create static, animated and interactive visualizations with Python 12
