Microsoft Power BI is a suite of business analytics tools that help you gain insights from your data. The suite brings together familiar operations from well-known products—including Excel, Access, Power Query, and Power Pivot—to help you to quickly move the basics and on to comprehensive analysis.

Power BI Introduction: Inside Power BI

Course Code: ITDP01 | Duration: 1 Day | Level: Introduction

Throughout this course we'll show you how you can easily create visualisations that will help your team and your organisation understand data that you're already collecting. Power BI is a set of tools including the Power BI service, Power BI desktop, Power BI mobile, and other components. We will begin with the web based Power BI service. We'll get data, create charts, and other visualisations. And arrange those visualisations into shareable reports. We'll also create dashboards, and use Power BI's Q and A feature to ask questions about our data. We'll take a look at the Power BI for mobile apps and see how we can use them to view and share reports and dashboards that we've created. Finally, we'll show you how to create your own data models using Power BI desktop. Power BI helps you model, visualise, and share insights. Learning Power BI will give you an edge over other people who are trying to analyse data using tools that are less powerful or less collaborative.
