Learn one of the most in demand business intelligence tool in the world and master the most important concepts in the Power BI Ecosystem.
Power BI is an essential tool for anyone working with Data!
This course is hands-on and you will LEARN BY DOING!
COURSE PROJECT
We will be using a really cool Formula One Dataset to create an interactive report with some amazing visualizations.
- We will connect to various data sources including csv, excel, JSON and more.
- We will perform extensive data transformations to make our data ready for reporting.
- We will use relationships and data modelling methodologies to create an effective data model.
- We will explore all kinds of visualisations from Column Charts, Scatter Charts, Maps, Tooltips and more.
- We will use Visual Elements like action icons and buttons to navigate between pages in your report.
- We will explore the capabilities of Power BI Pro and how it can enable you to collaborate within your Organization
- We will use Data Analysis Expressions to add insight and analysis to our Power BI Report
By the end of the Formula One Analysis Project you will gain extensive skills and have experience of developing a business intelligence solution end to end.
You should gain more than enough experience to add value to your real world projects!
