Course Overview

Build your foundation in Power BI & Business Intelligence

Turn business data into understandable reports with Power BI. Connect sources, prepare data in Power Query, build relationships and DAX measures, then design interactive reports and share them through Power BI Service.

Begin with Power BI Desktop and the reporting workflow, then import data from spreadsheets, files and databases. Power Query topics cover cleaning, combining queries, parameters and transformation errors.

Build a data model with relationships and a star schema, then use DAX measures and time-intelligence calculations to define business results. Report design includes visual selection, slicers, drill-through, navigation and conditional formatting.

Keep dashboards distinct from report pages: reports support detailed exploration, while dashboards summarize key information in Power BI Service. Later topics cover publishing, workspaces, permissions, refresh and business analytics projects.

Who can join?

Spreadsheet users, students and professionals who want to create business reports. Familiarity with rows, columns and basic formulas is helpful.
