Power BI is more accessible than many people realize. Despite its reputation as a developer-level tool, professionals without programming or data analysis backgrounds regularly learn and use it effectively. Power BI was built by combining the most powerful features of Microsoft Excel, Access, SQL, and related technologies into a single, streamlined platform, closing the gaps that exist between those individual tools and making the path from raw data to meaningful insight far more efficient.
This training takes what you already know about those tools and shows you how Power BI solves the same problems more elegantly. You will learn to use Power Query to connect to and transform data, build relational data models to link multiple datasets, and create compelling dashboards and visualizations in Power BI's report view. Through practical case studies that combine multiple features, you will write measures to calculate SUM, COUNT, MAX, and more with just a few clicks. You will also explore filtering options and use Power BI's DAX formula language to drive sophisticated data visualizations.
Topics Covered at a Glance:
- Connecting multiple data sources into a unified relational data model
- Identifying where and how Power BI can best address data challenges in your organization
- Building multiple reports that tell a coherent story about business performance
- Creating on-the-fly measures that solve the vast majority of business questions
- Organizing measures so their purpose and logic remain clear over time
- Building time intelligence reports, including year-over-year comparisons, quickly and accurately, saving significant time compared to Excel-based methods
