Power BI Desktop (via e-learning)


Microsoft Power BI Desktop is designed for analysts. Advanced interactive visualizations are combined with industry-leading built-in data queries and modeling. Create and publish your reports in Power BI. This way you can provide others with timely insights anywhere, anytime.

Omschrijving

The aim of the course Power BI Desktop (via e-learning) is to learn to connect to one or more data sources, to prepare the raw data, to make sense out of it, and to build a modern-looking and engaging dashboard. By the end of the main modules, you will be able to practice and go through one or more exercises. The files required to do the exercises, and the solution files, can be downloaded.

The course is self-study. You can decide for yourself what, where, when and how fast you want to learn. This form of learning is particularly suitable for people who want to learn what they need at their own pace. Of course, this requires some self-discipline.

Because it concerns self-study, you determine the duration of the course yourself. You have twelve months to complete the course.

The expected duration of the training is approximately 6 hours.
