Create a new Power BI report, and load in the data in the above workbook:
The raw data - your task is to massage it into something more presentable!
Use Query Editor to make this data look better:
Some columns have been renamed, while each person's wealth (in billions of dollars) has been extracted - see below for how.
If you need hints on extracting the wealth of each person in billions, one way to proceed is to follow these steps:
Step | What to do |
---|---|
1 | Replace the word billion with an empty string. |
2 | Replace the $ symbol with an empty string. |
3 | Convert the resulting column to a whole number. |
Bring the data back into your Power BI report, and use it to create a simple chart:
Create a simple chart just to prove that the billions really are being treated as numbers.
Save this report as But are they happy, then close it down.
