Power BI: Data Visualization and Dashboards

Why Attend

Professionals are faced with the challenge of presenting data analysis on a platform where management can easily access, quickly interpret and intelligently use for decision making. Many different platforms are available but certainly Microsoft’s Power BI is one of the most useful and increasingly popular tools. In this course, we will go over several functionalities used in Power BI – Desktop version to create dashboards and present data visually. A powerful tool normally used alongside Power BI is Power Query which is mainly used to get data from external sources, transform it, prepare it for analysis and automate all this process. Typically data is loaded into Power BI using Power Query which will be covered in this course as well.
