Data Science Dojo has launched Grafana’s offering to the azure marketplace to help you harvest insights from your data. It leverages the power of Microsoft Azure services to visualize, query, and set alerts for your data while promoting teamwork and transparency.
Does the above visual seem familiar? How many times are you trying to meet your deadlines only to be met bng? After all, spreadsheets can deal with complex calculations only up to a certain threshold.
Drawbacks of spreadsheets
Spreadsheets offer you a lot of cool features involving data entry, calculations, and manipulation. But dealing with all the cells and formulas can get overwhelming, making it more prone to errors affecting the integrity of the model.
There is a security and privacy issue when users store data in their individual spreadsheets and drive; elevated levels of collaboration also become a hassle when having data stored in different platforms. It is impossible to keep track of where the entries were altered or updated resulting in multiple versions of the same file undermining the overall confidence in the model.
Finally, it is not possible to present a stack of spreadsheets to your audience because they require a story to be presented to them which cannot be conveyed via rows and columns of large data. All these problems can be overcome by using it to generate insightful dashboards that summarize all your data into easy-to-read visuals and alerts that make generating actionable items much easier!
