Technical requirements
The code examples for this chapter can be found in the Chapter08
folder of this book's GitHub repository: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Scalable-Data-Analytics-with-Azure-Data-Explorer.git.
In our examples, we will use the StormEvents
table in our ADX cluster, since this dataset provides a wide variety of data types that allow us to demonstrate multiple types of visualizations.
You will need a Power BI account. Power BI requires a work or school account, which means that email addresses such as outlook.com and gmail.com will not work. Azure Active Directory accounts are work accounts and, in this chapter, we will discover how to create Azure Active Directory accounts to sign up to Power BI. You will also need Windows since the examples in this chapter require the Power BI desktop application, which is currently a Windows-only application.
