Your Questions

Here are some of the questions that came up during our live session. Thank you for being such a proactive audience. Have more questions? Drop us a note at support@zebrabi.com!
What is the advantage of Power BI vs PowerPivot?

Working with the data is pretty similar, however in terms of visualizing the data and distributing it as a single-source of truth. Power BI/Power platform has really advantageous capabilities. From interactivity, all sorts of drill operations and just maintenance of Reporting infrastructure.

If you are interested - you can learn the basics for free by joining Zebra BI Academy.

Can you import multiple tables per company, or is it better to pull multiple companies at once?

You can pull multiple tables from different URLs at once. In this webinar however, we scraped it per Financial statement per Company and simply appended them one below another.

Can Zebra BI visuals help improve a company's financial analysis?

Absolutely! The usage of Zebra BI visuals, can help you understand your data with better clarity as they follow the best practices of IBCS (International Business Communication Standards).

How can I include comments on the Zebra BI Cards?

The principle is the same as in Zebra BI Charts and Zebra BI Tables visuals. You can include them by just dropping it in the "Comments" placeholder.

However, it will only be shown with full text if you focus the card - we will add the Comment box to Zebra BI Cards in the future.
