Course Overview
About This Course
You’ve got data sitting in one place—or scattered across several—and you’re tired of stitching it together in spreadsheets that don’t scale. You want answers you can trust, plus visuals that look professional without spending days formatting.
In this course, you’ll work through the Power BI toolset as a practical workflow: connect to sources, shape what you get back, and turn it into something you can actually use. You’ll see how the pieces fit together so you’re not guessing which step happens where.
By the end, you’ll be able to take raw data and turn it into a shareable, interactive result: structured datasets, meaningful calculations, and reports your team can explore. You’ll also know how to publish what you’ve built, collaborate with colleagues, and access the same results across devices when you’re away from your desk.
What You'll Learn
You’ll move through the full Power BI workflow: from connecting and shaping data in Query Editor to modeling, reporting, publishing in Power BI Service, and even building custom visuals.
Navigate Power BI tools
Identify the different tools in the Power BI universe and choose the right one for the job, so you can move confidently between building, publishing, and consuming insights.
Use Power BI Desktop
Work effectively inside Power BI Desktop by understanding its core components and how they support the end-to-end process of preparing data and creating analysis-ready outputs.
Connect and transform data
Use the Query Editor to connect to various source types and reshape data into a clean dataset, while clearly separating data preparation from what happens later in modeling.
Model data with relationships
Build a solid Data Model by working in its different views and creating relationships between tables, so multiple sources can behave like one coherent dataset.
Create columns and measures
Add calculations where they belong by creating calculated columns and measures, enabling you to enrich your model with logic that supports meaningful analysis and reporting.
Publish, share, and access
Create dashboards in Power BI Service, publish and share results with colleagues for collaboration, and access the same outputs across devices using Power BI Mobile.
