If you have reached your Excel limit and need to analyze and make sense of huge amounts of data, then Power BI can help take your existing data-crunching capabilities to new heights!Power BI is an incredibly powerful, self-service Business Intelligence (BI) solution from Microsoft. It is the perfect Business Intelligence tool for people with limited technical experience.The Power BI beginner course starts by looking at Power Query, and how to use this tool to organize and clean our data.

We then show you how to build a Data Model and relate separate tables. After that, we teach you all about the data analysis language DAX in Power BI.

Finally, we look at how to present this data using the charts and graphs available.This intermediate training course is designed to be a continuation of the introductory Power BI course. We start the intermediate course by discussing the data files to be used and some Power BI desktop settings that will set you up for success.

The latter part of the course is an intensive exercise to give you practice creating reports and dashboards.What's included?Power BI for Beginner:
