Course Overview
Power BI is Microsoft’s Business Intelligence solution for data analysis and visualising and sharing data. It enables you to quickly develop interactive reports and dashboards and share impactful visualisations with customers or your team. This one- day course will introduce you to the software, how to best use it, and the range of possible applications it might have in your organisation.

Beginning with how to import data into Power BI from various file formats and databases, you will then move on to exploring different visualisation techniques and filtering techniques. Next, you will focus on understanding and differentiating between different chart types and the data they can be used to represent. Finally, we will show you how to filter and highlight specific bits of information to enhance the presentation of your key messages.
