Microsoft Power BI for Decision Makers Course – Classroom
Unlock insights and make data-driven decisions with Power BI. Explore reports, analyse data, filter visualisations, and create impactful reports to share findings with others
Course Overview
As data acquisition, access, analysis, and reporting are interwoven with our businesses and lives, more and more data is collected about business and personal activities. This abundance of data and the computing power to analyse it has increased the use of data analysis and data visualisation across a broad range of job roles. Decision makers of all types, including managers and executives, must interact with, interpret, and develop reports based on data and analysis provided to them.
Microsoft Power BI software is designed for data analysis and the creation of visualisations. Data analysts prepare data, perform initial analysis, and create visualisations that are then passed to business data decision makers. These decision makers can use Power BI’s tools to explore the data, perform further analysis to find new insights, make decisions, and create customised reports to share their findings.
Who is it for?
This course is designed for professionals in a variety of job roles who receive Power BI data visualisations and reports from data analysts or from data visualisation engineers. These data report recipients want to use the features and capabilities of Power BI to fully explore the visualisations and initial analyses provided to them in reports, perform additional analysis to ask next-level questions of the data, and to customise and create new visualisations and dashboards in order to share new insights and create compelling reports.
