Course Overview
Connecting and transforming data with Power Query Applying DAX for calculations Designing clear, professional reports
Data is at the heart of modern decision‑making, and Power BI is one of the most effective tools available for transforming raw information into meaningful insights. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Power BI, guiding you through the essential skills needed to analyse, visualise, and share data with confidence.
You will begin by learning how to connect to a wide range of data sources and use Power Query to clean and transform information. From there, the course explores how to design interactive dashboards and reports that communicate key findings clearly and effectively. Special attention is given to visualisation best practices, ensuring that your reports are not only accurate but also engaging and easy to interpret for different audiences.
As your skills develop, you will be introduced to DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), enabling you to perform advanced calculations and create custom measures that add depth to your analysis. The course also covers how to publish and manage reports securely in the Power BI Service, supporting collaboration and informed decision‑making across teams.
This course is suitable for beginners with no prior experience, professionals seeking to improve reporting, and students aiming to build practical skills for career growth. By the end, you will have the confidence to create dynamic dashboards, apply advanced techniques, and use Power BI as a central tool for data‑driven success.
A practical exercise file and sample data is provided so that you can follow on with the course. The Introduction is an AI generated voice but all the video content is not.
