Fundamentals of Python for Analysts
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Python for Analysts is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through data cleaning and preparation and storytelling with data 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 scenario modelling, data warehouse concepts and DAX and calculated measures in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review scenario modelling and say plainly whether it is working, measured against dimensional modelling practice
- Take ownership of data warehouse concepts rather than escalating it
- Put DAX and calculated measures on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Explain visual encoding choices to someone who does not do the work
