This two-day course will provide participants with the conceptual background and hands-on experience needed to create effective data visualisations using Microsoft Power BI. The course will cover Power BI's rich features for data preparation and transformation; for creating data visualisations, interactive reports and dashboards; and for sharing Power BI content within and outside your organisation.
Power BI has two components that work together - Power BI Desktop and the cloud-based Power BI Pro service. This course will provide you with the core skills needed to use both components effectively.
