Power BI: Tools and Techniques
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through visual encoding choices and SQL querying on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: analysts are frequently self taught in the tool and untrained in the reasoning, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with data cleaning and preparation, spreadsheet controls and report automation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about data cleaning and preparation without waiting for a specialist, measured against established visualisation principles
- Explain spreadsheet controls to someone who does not do the work
- Put report automation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Improve data modelling within their own organisation
