Description

As brilliant as it is, sometimes Microsoft Excel can’t deliver everything you need when it comes to data analysis, visualisation and publication.

This is where Microsoft’s Power BI steps in, enabling you to take your data analysis to the next level creating and sharing powerful, interactive and secure dashboards which can be shared privately or published and embedded in your website.

This session will cover

* Getting to grips with Power BI’s basic building blocks
* Getting data from Microsoft Excel
* Creating & customising charts and visualisations
* Printing, sharing & publishing reports

Pre-course requirement

To participate in this course, you will need to have both the web and desktop version of Power BI installed. The free versions which come with Microsoft 365 as standard are suitable for everything apart from the publication section which requires a paid Power BI pro licence. Everything is available via the Microsoft store and they offer a free trial for the paid version so you can give it a whirl before taking the plunge. We will send step by step details of how to access Power BI in advance of the course.
