Description
LEARN TO CREATE STUNNING REPORTS WITH REAL-TIME DATA
In Microsoft's Power BI, you can connect to existing data to create modern data visualizations and reports. In this course, you will learn everything you need to know to design reports, charts, and dashboards and distribute them to your team. We will walk you through the process from install to publish.
In this course, you will learn to connect to Excel files or other external data sources then create data relationships as the basis for your reports. Kat will walk you through modifying data relationships, creating a set of applied steps to clean and transform your data, and creating a variety of visualizations (charts) with your data.
