Technologies always come with tradeoffs, and an interactive canvas is ultimately a place where you arrange a bunch of pre-built objects. Interactive Dashboard Tools Aren’t Good at Everything Interactivity Tradeoff #1 – Not Pixel Perfect “See EVERYTHING” is a difficult goal to attain, but it IS the only goal which makes sense.īut let’s revisit the other diagram from Tuesday, because there’s something significant to be gleaned: Pinhole-sized fields of view (Reporting) don’t cut it, and neither do spotlight-sized fields of view (Tableau). Yes this represents tremendous progress! The purpose of BI is to see what is going on, and then use that vision to drive improvement. Power BI marries Interactivity with an underlying Analytical Model, providing the most comprehensive field of view.
