Description
In this course, learners will develop comprehensive skills in Microsoft Power BI – from loading and modelling data through to building advanced visualisations, managing the Power BI Service, and embedding AI-driven insights. Learners will connect to and load data from databases and cloud storage, apply data modelling techniques, and create advanced visualisations. They will transform and shape data using Power Query, perform merge operations, and work with the Power BI Service to publish and manage scorecards, dashboards, and paginated reports. Learners will also explore Power BI administration, real-time data streaming, and security practices, before applying AI capabilities including text analytics, machine learning model training, AI-powered visuals, smart narratives, Q&A visuals, and Copilot to unlock deeper data insights.
