This course is aimed at anyone who will be involved with designing, creating and publishing a Power BI Business Intelligence solution and will provide you with the foundation Power BI training that you need get started on your journey to powerful power BI reports and business Insights. The course covers the loading and transforming of source data, the building of a tabular data model that provides a collection of related tables of data offering common hierarchies and measures used in the day to day analytics of business data and performance, the creation of reports, the publishing of datasets and reports to PowerBI.com, the creation of Dashboards presenting key visualisations for Business insights, and the sharing of Dashboards and Reports to those that need them. Power BI employs the functionality of Power Query, Power Pivot and Power View behind the scenes so if you have used any of these add-ins from within Excel you may have met some Power BI features and tools already. This course is also suitable for those who intend to use the individual components as Excel Add Ins. Following on from this course is our Introduction to DAX course, but you may wish to consider some follow on workshops working with your own data and looking how your new Power BI skills can be applied in your own challenging environments.
