Power BI Dashboard Design: From Visuals to a Professional Da

This course is a practical guide focused on turning raw data into clear, interactive dashboards using Power BI. It starts at a beginner level, introducing learners to the Power BI interface and showing them how to add visuals to the report page. Step by step, students learn how to choose the right chart type, assign fields to visuals, and format colors, titles, and number formats so that reports are easy to read and understand. Once they are comfortable creating individual visuals, the course moves on to full dashboard design: arranging charts, tables, and cards, adding slicers, and building a dashboard that displays key metrics, trends, and details in a way that business users can quickly interpret. The course emphasizes visual best practices and real‑world examples, giving learners a repeatable workflow for building dashboards they can use at work or in academic projects.
