Power BI For Intermediate Users

In this day and age, Data Analytics and Data visualisation are hot buzz words. Many organisations realise the importance of data and the value it can bring to any organization; through informed decision making, cost avoidance, improved efficiency and sometimes new opportunities.

While many organisations hire data analysts and scientists to make sense of the insights, there often find it challenging communicating these insights clearly and effectively.

Data visualization provides a graphical representation of the data that communicates key insights quickly and effectively; even to those who are less numerically inclined.

To this end, data visualization has become an increasingly indispensable part of the analytics toolkit today.
Power BI is one of the leading platforms in data visualization and is widely used in many organizations.

This workshop is targeted at intermediate Power BI users to build operating skills that go beyond simply loading data and building simple charts.

Because this is positioned as an intermediate Power BI workshop, attendees need to have already attended the Power BI Beginner class or at least is very familiar with how Power BI works with basic functionalities.

If you are unsure, kindly refer to the brochure on the Beginners’ class to validate if you know those functionalities.

In this workshop, attendees will learn more intermediate concepts including the data preparation, data modelling and cardinality.

There is some exposure to DAX, the programming language of Power BI, and attendees are expected to do some calculations using DAX.

The focus of the course is on practical applications and as such, we will spend a lot of time applying the learning through case studies.

In each case study, we will bring the attendee from data loading to data preparation (using Power Query) to data visualisation using charts and dashboards.

This is targeted at professionals and managers in non-analyst roles but may be required to work with or make sense of data and presenting data in their work.

This is the next step from the Beginners class and will be a bit more technical compared to the Beginners class.
