Comparing this year's attendance with last year

If you need to see this year’s attendance overlaid against last year’s attendance and even the year before’s attendance, you need this graph.

Unauthorised absences

Unauthorized absences are difficult for a school to control. Power BI makes it easy to keep track of the trends in your school.
