(Online Delivery) Microsoft Power BI for Data-Driven Decision Makers
This is a great class for an overview of Power BI/if Power BI isn't a central part of your job role.
Description
Overview:
As data acquisition, access, analysis, and reporting are interwoven with our businesses and lives, more and more data is collected about business and personal activities. This abundance of data and the computing power to analyze it has increased the use of data analysis and data visualization across a broad range of job roles. Decision makers of all types, including managers and executives, must interact with, interpret, and develop reports based on data and analysis provided to them.
Microsoft® Power BI® software is designed for data analysis and the creation of visualizations. Data analysts prepare data, perform initial analysis, and create visualizations that are then passed to business data decision makers. These decision makers can use Power BI's tools to explore the data, perform further analysis to find new insights, make decisions, and create customized reports to share their findings.
Course Objectives:
In this course, you will explore, analyze, and customize reports and visualizations in Power BI to discover new insights, showcase those insights, and share them. You will:
- Explore Power BI reports.
- Analyze data to get answers and insights.
- Sort and group data for analysis and reporting.
- Filter visualizations.
- Prepare reports.
- Troubleshoot, collaborate, and share reports.
Target Student:
