Simulating an Epidemic using Python in Power BI

Challenge Updates
1

Hi all,

During this whole lock down thing I thought I’d use the spare time to try and learn something new in Power BI. I’ve always wanted to get going with the R and Python visuals and have found a project I’d like to have a go at but need some help replicating. I don’t program in either of those languages but I did have a bit of a bash at doing an R course a little while go so get a little bit of the basics.

I’ve found a little project I’d love to be able to recreate in Power BI if I can and its the visuals within this Epidemic Youttube video. https://youtu.be/gxAaO2rsdIs

If you scroll down to the links underneath you’ll see they use manim an Open Source Python Library so I’m hoping it can be recreated in Power BI. Here are the links to the Github something I’m also new too.

These animations are largely made using manim, a scrappy open-source python library: https://github.com/3b1b/manim

Thanks in advance for anyone that can help out.

Cheers

Dave

Hi @DavidNealon, we aim to consistently improve the topics being posted on the forum to help you in getting a strong solution faster. While waiting for a response, here are some tips so you can get the most out of the forum and other Enterprise DNA resources.

  • Use the forum search to discover if your query has been asked before by another member.

  • When posting a topic with formula make sure that it is correctly formatted to preformated text </>.

  • Use the proper category that best describes your topic

  • Provide as much context to a question as possible.

  • Include demo pbix file, images of the entire scenario you are dealing with, screenshot of the data model, details of how you want to visualize a result, and any other supporting links and details.

I also suggest that you check the forum guideline https://forum.enterprisedna.co/t/how-to-use-the-enterprise-dna-support-forum/3951. Not adhering to it may sometimes cause delay in getting an answer.

I’ve done this, I can’t provide a PBIX file as I can’t work out how to even get started. I need someone to help me get started with setting up a basic PBIX file with the Github links I’ve provided :slight_smile:

Cheers
