Course Topics

Microsoft 365 Power BI Desktop: Beginner

Course Duration - 2 hrs 48 min

Modern business reporting demands the ability to visualize data within an organization's business context. Power BI Desktop is Microsoft's premier tool for visualizing data and for creating highly interactive dashboards.

This course starts with the basics. Business Intelligence concepts are examined and explained. The process of grooming data for analysis is covered with demonstrations at each step.

Connecting to data sources is the first step, and this course covers several data sources as examples. Data may live in humble Excel workbooks, SQL databases, or the Power BI Service.

Once data sources have been created, data must often be prepared before visualizations can be created. Data must be cleansed, transformed, and shaped before analysis can begin. Power BI Desktop has tools to assist with all these tasks. Each feature is examined and demonstrated.

Many visualizations are created in this course. Each type is explained so that students understand why one visualization should be used instead of others. The lesser-used chart types are given extra attention because their value is usually not understood without examples.

Created in this course: Tables and Matrices, Text Based visuals, Column Charts, Line Charts, Interactive Legends, Waterfall Charts, Funnel Chars, Scatter Plot Charts complete with motion, Area, and Stacked Area Charts are all created. Gauges and KPIs are also created.

Finally, the Power BI Service is examined and used to create truly interactive dashboards that may be shared with other users within their organizations.

Course Objectives:
Course Objectives:
  • Grasp the fundamentals of self-service business intelligence (BI) and its role in modern business reporting.

Microsoft 365 Power BI Desktop: Intermediate

Course Duration - 3 hrs 44 min

Modern reports and dashboards are highly interactive and use data from multiple sources. Managers want real-time information for analysis and decision-making. This course builds on the beginner course and enables dashboard creators to support these requirements.

Data is only as up-to-date as its latest refresh. The location of data has refresh implications, as does the feature used by Power BI Desktop to connect to that data. This course covers the issues that must be addressed to determine the freshness of an organization’s reporting data.

Data often comes from different sources. When all that data together must be used for visualizations and analysis, the data must be modeled. Data modeling includes the topics Table Relationships, Cardinality, Row-level Security, and Referential Integrity.

Sometimes, a data source does not have all the information that is required for reporting or forecasting. Calculated columns may be added to produce the data required for further analysis. Calculated columns are covered in this course.

Visualizations that are not covered in the beginner course are covered here. This course includes Donut Charts, Tree Maps, Line and Stacked Column charts, Line and Cluster Column charts, Maps, and Filled Maps. Perhaps most importantly, use cases that determine when each of these visuals is best to use are explained and demonstrated.

Filters are introduced as a technique for interactively analyzing data. Filters may be applied to single visualizations, pages, or entire reports. Each has its place. Special filters include Include / Excluded filters, Cross filters, Top N filters, and relative Date filters.

Slicers are visual filters that enhance interactivity, especially on dashboards. There are various types of slicers, and this course covers date slicers, time slicers, numeric range slicers, and others.

Even though dashboards are covered in the beginner course, so much can be done with them! In this course, dashboards are created to use the new visualizations, and they also incorporate filters and slicers!

Course Objectives:
Course Objectives:
  • Master data refresh strategies considering location, source, and Power BI Desktop features for timely reporting.
  • Design effective data models utilizing table relationships, cardinality, row-level security, and referential integrity.
  • Create calculated columns to address missing data requirements for enhanced analysis.
  • Expand visualization skills with donut charts, treemaps, line/stacked column charts, line/cluster column charts, maps, and filled maps.
  • Apply filters strategically to single visualizations, pages, or entire reports, including include/exclude, cross filters, top N filters, and relative date filters.
  • Enhance dashboard interactivity with various slicer types, including date, time, numeric range, and more.
  • Build advanced dashboards incorporating new visualizations, filters, and slicers for comprehensive data exploration.
  • Deepen understanding of table relationships and their impact on filter direction and visual outcomes.
  • Develop proficiency in conditional calculations within calculated columns for diverse data presentations.
  • Confidently select the most appropriate visualization type based on specific use cases and data characteristics.
