Trend Analysis with Power BI Example

This report shows total wins by all MLB teams from 1995 to 2019.  Wins are shows by league and division.  The data is show as an Excel data table in the example shown.  From looking at the table can you tell the win or loss pct over all of the seasons?  Can you determine the trends over time for clubs that have winning records or losing streaks?  Converting this data to a Power BI report enables you to visually see what is in the data.

Spot Trends with Power BI

Converting the data to visuals such as bar or line charts enables you to see the trends.  I this report I built a line chart to show the win percentage by divisions from 1995 to 2019.  I also created a line chart that shows the win percentage by AL or NL teams.  In addition, the total win percentage for all teams is a line chart that has an embedded Power BI Trend Line.  This line automatically plots the trend and is responsive to recalculate based on the other data selected.
