What You'll Learn

With the rise of big data, it is essential that we can interpret increasingly larger batches of data. As such, we need data visualization because it is easier to identify patterns and trends through a visual summary of information than looking through thousands of rows on a spreadsheet. Microsoft Power BI is a business intelligence platform that provides non-technical business users with tools to build insightful visualizations, enabling them to make data-driven business decisions.

During this 2-day course, participants will understand the fundamentals of a business analytics lifecycle and appreciate the importance of visualizations. Participants will get to understand the appropriate techniques and elements for data visualization and will dive into the Power BI features to create beautiful data dashboards for effective storytelling.
