Course Description
This 2-day Microsoft Power BI Essentials training covers the use of Power BI Desktop to connect to data, create Visualizations, query the data and publish reports.
Power BI Desktop is part of the suite of tools from Microsoft which enable data to be analysed and published from a variety of sources. With Power BI Desktop, you get a report authoring tool that enables you to connect to and query data from different sources using the Query Editor. From the datasets you build with Query Editor you can create Reports and Visualizations or dashboards within Power BI Desktop. Reports can then be published.

Testimonials
“The trainer was INCREDIBLE. He was extremely passionate, made sure to consistently ask if anybody needed help, logged on early to answer any questions, and was an overall great human being.”
- Salvatore, Hilton Grand Vacations
Thoroughly enjoyed the training. The trainer was fantastic! It is rare but always an awesome experience when a trainer is also an experienced practioner with a breadth of knowledge and hands on experience… even well beyond the subject matter at hand. I had the feeling that the trainer could have answered in detail any question we might have had related to not only BDM but Hadoop and other relevant big data topics as well. Time well spent and I hope to encounter Tomi again.
