SQL for Analysts for Non-Specialists

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

SQL for Analysts for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through data modelling and visual encoding choices without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because reporting effort scales badly when the underlying model is wrong, 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, DAX and calculated measures and KPI definition in their own organisation.
