Many of the reports published on Tutkihallintoa.fi have been created using Microsoft Power BI. All data is openly available to everyone, and there are no separate access restrictions. The data content cannot be modified within the service.

Power BI reports on Tutkihallintoa.fi are embedded on the website. In addition to the embedded reports, there is a link below each report that opens the report in full-screen view.

All reports include basic functions that can be used as described below.

Navigation and selecting data on the reports

You can access menus with the mouse or by using the Tab key and pressing Ctrl+Right Arrow. You can make a selection with the mouse or by moving up or down with the arrow keys and pressing Enter. In some comparison report menus, you can select multiple items.

Report tabs

Some reports have multiple tabs that present the same data from different perspectives or at a more detailed level. The tabs are located in the upper-right corner of the report and can be opened by clicking them with the mouse or by selecting them with the Tab key and pressing Enter.

Clearing report selections

You can reset the selections made in a report to the default settings by clicking Clear selections.

Viewing an individual visualization

If you want to examine an individual chart in more detail, you can enlarge it by moving the mouse pointer over the visualization. A square icon will appear on the right-hand side of the visualization. Click the icon to enlarge the visualization.

Exporting data to your computer

When you move the mouse pointer over a chart or table, or navigate to it using the Tab key, a three-dot icon appears in the upper-right corner. Click the icon to open a menu where the first option is Export data. Power BI may then ask whether you want to export summarized data or underlying data. You can also choose whether to export the data as an Excel or CSV file.

Please note that report data cannot be exported to Excel from the full-screen view opened via the separate link. This is a Power BI feature.

Note!

You can display additional keyboard shortcuts by navigating to the report with the mouse or Tab key and pressing Shift+?. Press Esc to close the keyboard shortcut instructions.
