Practical Power BI
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through SQL querying and DAX and calculated measures on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: reporting effort scales badly when the underlying model is wrong, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with data governance, dashboard design and data warehouse concepts in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve data governance within their own organisation, measured against recognised data governance frameworks
- Bring dashboard design into line with current good practice
- Make a decision about data warehouse concepts without waiting for a specialist
- Review storytelling with data and say plainly whether it is working
