Modern day report writing involves creating interactive reports that are published and shared with others within an organization. These reports must be accessible and usable on mobile devices. Microsoft's Power BI Report Builder joins the Power BI platform, along with other products, to deliver this functionality. This course is for beginners who need to learn how to create basic reports. In this course, reports are created, published, and accessed through a browser. The course begins with explanations of the related technology and necessary terminology. The steps for downloading Power BI Report Builder are demonstrated. The Power BI Service is introduced. Several completed reports are examined in order to explore the Report Builder environment and learn where all the necessary features are located. Data Sources are created that connect to several different data sources, including the Power BI Service itself. Datasets, which are essentially queries, are created next. Basic table reports are created and techniques for sorting and grouping follow. Matrices are created after the standard tabular reports are created. A matrix is as close we get to an Excel-style PivotTable in Report Builder. Expressions are like miniature formulae that often use Excel-style functions to produce results. Expressions are one of the most powerful aspects of Report Builder, so expect to see Expressions covered in the Intermediate and Advanced courses as well. Moving back to the Power BI Service, workspaces are examined as the containers for reports. Reports are stored here so that they may be shared with others. Finally, skills for printing, exporting, and publishing reports round out the course.
