Create dynamic data visualizations for business reports with Power BI. Learn how to connect multiple data sources into a single relational model, use Power Query, and make detailed time intelligence reports.
Many people think Power BI is for advanced developers. In truth, plenty of people without prior experience in programming or data analysis are able to learn and use Power Bi. Power BI was created by combining the best features from Microsoft Excel, Access, SQL, and other related technologies to fill in the capability gaps that exist across these technologies, streamlining the process from data to insights.
In this training, we’ll transition from what you know about these technologies and show you how Power BI solves the same problems more efficiently. To give you an understanding of what Power BI can do, you’ll learn to use Power Query to query data, Power BI’s data model to connect datasets, and Power BI’s report view to create compelling dashboards and data visualizations. Using case studies that bring together multiple capabilities at once, you’ll learn how to easily create measures to find SUM, COUNT, MAX, and more with a click of a button. You'll also work with the different filter options and use Power BI’s DAX language to power your data visualizations.
