Fundamentals of Self Service Analytics
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Self Service Analytics is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through SQL querying and pivot table analysis without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because analysts are frequently self taught in the tool and untrained in the reasoning, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with forecasting techniques, statistical fundamentals and DAX and calculated measures in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain forecasting techniques to someone who does not do the work, measured against recognised data governance frameworks
- Take ownership of statistical fundamentals rather than escalating it
- Put DAX and calculated measures on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Make a decision about data cleaning and preparation without waiting for a specialist
