Fundamentals of Data Analysis

Data and Business Intelligence|2 days|Classroom or live online

Fundamentals of Data Analysis is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through dashboard design and SQL querying without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because most organisations have more dashboards than decisions that depend on them, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with self service analytics, forecasting techniques and DAX and calculated measures in their own organisation.
