This course was a great introduction to the Power BI processes needed to load data into Power BI. I finally understand the difference between Power BI desktop and Power BI cloud service. More hands-on practice exercises and perhaps a large summary project tying the various course section together would make the course 5/5. Looking forward to the next course. Thank you!
