Microsoft Power BI
In 2026, the university began transitioning from Tableau to Microsoft Power BI for all data visualizations. This powerful visualization software ensures consistency in how data is presented across the university. To support this migration, the Academic and Business Performance Analytics Office has developed resources for implementing Microsoft Power BI.
Below is a curated reference guide that contains direct hyperlinks to official Microsoft documentation and structured learning paths to support university analysts, report authors, and managers as they transition from legacy platforms onto Power BI.
