By the end, you’ll be able to create basic data visualizations and tables, build standard chart types in business intelligence tools, and assemble reports and dashboards that are clear, effective, and aligned to defined specifications. This course is a strong fit if you already have basic experience working with data, spreadsheets, or introductory reporting tools.
