Power BI training for beginners
Power BI is a self-service tool: as an end user, you get access to the data and turn it into valuable, visual information yourself. Focused training makes the learning curve less steep.
Building a dashboard independently
A hands-on course aimed at mastering the basics of Power BI and being able to build a dashboard independently.
Topics
- General introduction to Power BI
- Importing different data sources
- Setting up a star schema
- Power Query: transforming data
- DAX: calculated columns and simple measures
- Visualisations
- Sharing reports through Power BI Service and Power BI Mobile
After each topic is explained, there's ample time for practice: you build your own dashboard from source data in the desktop version, and a completed version of every exercise is provided.
Participants
Solid basic knowledge of Excel is required; prior Power BI knowledge is not needed. Because of the interaction and guidance during exercises, group size is limited to 6 participants. This training is offered exclusively to businesses (B2B/B2G), not to private individuals.
Course length
The training takes one day and is given in-company: at your premises, for your own people. We run it in Dutch or in English.
Course materials
At the start, participants receive a comprehensive practice document that also serves as reference material. After the course, participants receive digital copies of all worked examples.
Practical arrangements
- By default, the course takes place on-site at your organisation.
- Participants work on their own laptop, with Power BI Desktop installed on it.
- The training room is otherwise set up with a projector and a whiteboard or flipchart.
- Optional: a follow-up day to cover specific workplace situations further.
