Introduction

This tutorial will walk you through the process of building a lead scoring dashboard with Power BI. We will use a dataset of 1000 leads and build a machine learning model with pycaret to predict the likelihood of a lead converting to a customer. We will then use the model to score the leads, store the new lead dataset in a PostgreSQL database and visualize the results in Power BI.

You can find the code for this tutorial on my GitHub here.

Prerequisites

- Basic knowledge of Python

- Basic knowledge of Power BI

- Basic knowledge of SQL

- Basic knowledge of machine learning classification models
