1 Day Data to Dashboard Using Power BI
This one day course is the first day of the two day training and covers all you need to know to start using the Power BI suite of tools without expecting you to be a programmer. The topics include
- How to use Power BI Desktop.
- In depth coverage of building Reports with various visualisations using Power BI Desktop.

- Power BI.com features including Workspaces, Quick Insights, Q&A, etc.
- Creating Dashboards in PowerBI.com.
- Introduction to Power Query, and hands on learning of several reusable patterns that cover common use cases for loading ad hoc data.
1 Day Data Modelling with Power BI and Power Pivot
This one day course is the second day of the two day training and goes on to focus on teaching you how to model data.
The term “Data Modelling” is not something that is familiar to most Excel Pros, and that is because data modelling has historically been done by IT on your behalf. But if you want to be good with Self Service BI using the Microsoft tools, you must learn how to become a data modeller – this is exactly what you will learn in this class. The topics include
- Introduction to Data Modelling.
- How to optimally load your data for use.
- DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) language and Common DAX functions.
- How to write DAX formulas using business logic that bring out data insights.
- The CALCULATE function – the most important function in DAX.
- Advanced concepts including table functions such as ALL, FILTER.
- Time Intelligence.
At the end of the 2 days you will be well on you way to becoming a Power BI, Power Pivot and Power Query ninja.
All participants will receive the certificate of completion at the end of the course.
