Microsoft Power BI Training
Power BI combines data preparation, data modeling, visualization, and analytics in one business intelligence platform. Our Power BI classes take students from fundamental concepts through advanced reporting and analysis.
Power BI Fundamentals
Learn the Power BI interface and understand how the major components work together.
- Power BI Desktop
- Reports, dashboards, and visualizations
- Import data from Excel, CSV, and databases
- Create tables, charts, and interactive reports
- Filter and organizing report data
- Publish Power BI reports
Connect Power BI to Data Sources
A successful Power BI report begins with reliable data. Training includes connecting Power BI to common business data sources and preparing that information for analysis. Students can learn how to connect Power BI to Excel workbooks, CSV files, SQL Server, MySQL, Access databases, and other data sources.
Power Query Training
Power Query is one of the most important Power BI skills because it allows users to clean and transform data before it is loaded into the data model.
Clean and Transform Data
Learn how to prepare inconsistent or incomplete business data for reporting.
Topics include removing unnecessary columns and rows, changing data types, replacing values, splitting columns, filtering records, and handling missing data.
Power Query Merge and Append
Learn how to combine information from multiple tables and files using Power Query.
Training includes Merge Queries, Append Queries, joins, lookup tables, and combining recurring monthly reports.
Power Query M
Advanced students can learn how Power Query’s M language works and how custom transformations are created when standard Power Query commands are not enough.
Power BI Data Modeling
Data modeling is essential for creating accurate and efficient Power BI reports. Students learn how tables are connected and how relationships affect calculations and reporting.
Relationships and Data Models
Learn about one-to-many, one-to-one, and many-to-many relationships, primary and foreign keys, relationship direction, and common modeling problems.
Star Schema Design
Learn why fact tables, dimension tables, and properly structured data models are important when building professional Power BI solutions.
Date Tables
Learn how dedicated date tables support time-based analysis, including monthly, quarterly, and yearly reporting.
DAX Training
DAX, or Data Analysis Expressions, provides the calculations that make Power BI models powerful.
Create DAX Measures
Learn how to create measures for common business calculations such as total sales, order counts, averages, percentages, and profitability.
Time Intelligence
Learn how to calculate year-over-year growth, month-over-month changes, year-to-date totals, and other time-based business metrics.
Power BI Dashboard and Report Design
A technically correct report still needs to communicate information effectively. Power BI training should therefore include dashboard design and visualization techniques.
Create Interactive Dashboards
Learn how to combine charts, tables, cards, slicers, and other visualizations into interactive reports.
Power BI Charts and Visualizations
Learn when to use bar charts, column charts, line charts, pie and donut charts, maps, tables, matrices, KPI cards, and other Power BI visuals.
Professional Report Design
Learn techniques for organizing dashboards, choosing appropriate visualizations, improving readability, and creating reports that help users make better business decisions.
Power BI Service
Learn how to publish reports, create dashboards, manage workspaces, share reports, and collaborate with other users.
Hands-On Power BI Classes
The best Power BI training should go beyond demonstrations. Students should work with realistic datasets and build reports throughout the course. Hands-on exercises can include importing business data, cleaning information with Power Query, designing a relational data model, writing DAX measures, creating interactive visualizations, and developing a complete Power BI dashboard. Whether you are an Excel professional moving into business intelligence, a manager who needs better reporting, or an analyst responsible for recurring reports, practical Power BI training can help you turn raw data into useful business information.
