Why Power BI?

In recent years, the amount of data being collected has increased at a rapid pace. Excel has long been the go-to tool for analysis, but it is increasingly hitting its limits. The data that needs to be analyzed is located in too many different places, is too complex, or simply too much to be analyzed in Excel. Power BI is a Business Intelligence (BI) tool that offers the ability to load large amounts of data from different sources and create a dynamic report from it. In this practical two-day Power BI basics course, you will learn the core of the program. After the course, you will have sufficient knowledge to create your own report.

Course topics

Loading data into Power BI

During the course we connect to two common data sources: SQL Server and Excel files. The data from these files is loaded into the Power Query Editor. After the dataset is loaded, we select the correct columns for our report, look for any errors in the data and make small adjustments to the data. Finally, we import the data we need into Power BI.
