Learning alone isn’t always easy. It’s hard to see how much you really know (or don’t).

That’s why I value the DHIS2 Academy and Community of Practice, where people from all over the world share how they use DHIS2 in different ways.

Learning from others keeps me inspired. 💙

@dhis2.org works well with Microsoft @powerbi.bsky.social when creating interactive visualizations.

In this post, I break down the initial steps that need to be taken to use Power BI to retrieve data from DHIS2 for more complex data analytics.
