You can view my interactive Power BI Report here.
This project involves extracting, profiling, and analyzing FIFA World Cup data from the Wikipedia website. The primary focus is on creating a comprehensive report that includes key information such as the year, host country, champion, runner-up, final score, and the number of participating teams. The project aims to provide insightful visualizations for better understanding and interpretation of the data.
Extract data from the relevant tables on the Wikipedia page: FIFA World Cup Wikipedia using Power BI import mode.
