Microsoft Power BI Workshop 1

This session is aimed at teams wanting to get to know Power BI and get a hands-on feel for what is possible.

It is a one day introduction to Power BI workshop modelled along the Dashboard in a Day training delivered by Microsoft. It will be trainer-led and conducted using sample sales data to help you understand Power BI features. 

This workshop will have a strong focus on the "why" and not just the "how". This workshop is not team specific and may be attended by multiple teams or departments. It is Trainer led, using Trainer supplied sample data.
