Visualising MP’s Expenses in Power BI

I hparliament-logoave been set the task of visualising the data behind all UK MPs expenses to demonstrate my capabilities in business intelligence.

So a fairly straight forward challenge on the surface.  I need to  look at the data  from IPSA provided at:http://www.parliamentary-standards.org.uk/DataDownloads.aspx The presentation needs to be visually engaging and help provide clarity around the MP expenses data set.  I need to answer questions such as:

  • which party claims the most
  • what are they claiming for etc.

Swhere to start?  I need to consider the following

  • What tool set will i use and what do I have available to me?
  • Do I need additional data to answer the basic questions?
  • What else can I demonstrate to add to the ‘wow’ factor of the presentation?
