To create Power BI versus Validated Result, first prepare a summary table for each week.

Week Power BI – Human Validated – Human Power BI – Automation Validated – Automation
W25 12 15 38 35
W26 10 8 40 42
W27 14 16 36 34
W28 9 11 41 39

Recommended visual: Clustered column chart

For a clean management view, create two separate charts.

Chart 1: Automation closures

Use:

  • X-axis: Week
  • Values: Power BI – Automation and Validated – Automation
  • Chart type: Clustered column chart

For every week, two bars will appear side by side:

  • Power BI reported automation count
  • Your manually validated automation count

This makes differences immediately visible.

Chart 2: Human closures

Use:

  • X-axis: Week
  • Values: Power BI – Human and Validated – Human
  • Chart type: Clustered column chart

In Excel

  1. Select the columns:
    • Week
    • Power BI – Automation
    • Validated – Automation
  2. Go to Insert → Column or Bar Chart.
  3. Select Clustered Column.
  4. Set the title as:

Power BI vs Validated Automation Closures – Weekly

  1. Enable Data Labels so the count appears above each bar.

Repeat the same process for human closures.

Also add a variance column

This shows how much the Power BI report differs from your validation.

Week Power BI Automation Validated Automation Variance
W25 38 35 3
W26 40 42 -2

Excel formula:

=B2-C2

Interpretation:

  • 0: Power BI matches your validation.
  • Positive value: Power BI reported more automation closures.
  • Negative value: Your validation identified more automation closures.

You can also calculate the absolute mismatch:

=ABS(B2-C2)

Best final presentation

Show:

  1. Automation comparison chart
  2. Human comparison chart
  3. A small variance table underneath

Add one observation below the charts, such as:

Power BI broadly aligns with the validated results; however, differences were identified where service accounts were used after manual intervention or where automatically resolved incidents were manually closed by engineers.
