SteemOffice : Excel dashboard to work with SteemApi Data (looking for feedback)

in steem-project •  7 years ago 

As Steemit community is growing ,I think tools to analyze the performance of accounts are becoming more necessary

There are already some tools like Steemd,Steemdb,Vessel,etc.. which are helping many steemians to track their accounts, but I think an Excel tool will do much quicker to to work with large amounts of data

SteemOffice is a tool which wants to make easier to work with Steemit Accounts , both by showing meaningful charts to get perspective on the real state of our accounts,and also providing dynamic pivot tables as a source to elaborate analysis



SteemOffice pulls the data from SteemAPI , in this first version the tools is querying Account and Posts information , but eventually can get info of the Network and Market state which also provides the API

You can get the first version of the Excel Macro workbook here it will work in any Windows OS system with any recent MsExcel installed (you need to allow macros to run )

Please feel free to check the Excel , review the code , and give me feedback or any info you would like SteemOffice to pull in the future

Thanks a lot! I will, usually after 30 minutes!

This is really good. Have you thought about using Power Query to connect to the datasource and then using Power Pivot and DAX to do a deeper analysis?

Not yet , but I will investigate

let me know if you need help. I love excel power tools( I teach using them)

Well , yes I need a lot of help :) , and you look quite an expert on Power Queries

I have worked mainly at calling the apis and processing JSON
But the "front" of the Excel can be definitely improved , maybe Power Querys could be used for it ,how do you see it?

From the other side, to get data from a SQL source I think we would need to use something like :
https://steemit.com/steemit/@arcange/steemsql-com-a-public-sql-server-database-with-all-steemit-blockchain-data
I have not checked if it is working fine

A quick question :
Can a Power Query pull data from a web api?

yes power query can pull from an api and work with JSON. My problem is that I don't know sql. we should team up on this one.

Microsoft released power BI, which is a combo of Power Query, Power Pivot, and Power View. The interactive reports can be embedded then. So much better than the excel power tools.

Sounds interesting :)
I have been struggling with the apis lately
Are you on the steemchat or discord or similar?, Would you have time to talk on this tomorrow?

sure thing. I am on discord paulag#0515 you will find me in whaleshares or pal.

The fount end is more power view. Query is for getting the data, Power Pivot is for modeling the data (using DAX functional language for BI) and power view is for visualizing and telling stories with the data

There is also a language behind power query, know as M (not MDX)

muy bueno tioo
