Have you heard that Data Science is the sexist job of the 21st century? That is because Data Analysts, Business Intelligence Analysts and pretty much anyone working with Data is in high demand. Companies are constantly searching for ways to make better and faster decisions and to do this, they rely heavily on data. This Power BI course is designed to arm you with the knowledge you need to go from raw data to insights and taught in a way that explains complex concepts in a simplified manner.
In this course, we utilize Adventure works Database and will download SQL Server and we will cover the following
Data Connections where we bring in Data from different sources (Facebook, website, Odata, Csv,excel and Databases)
Data Transformations where we actually cleanse the data
Data Joins where we join data from multiple table into one source
Charts where we try to create as many beautiful visuals as we can
Filtering Data
Data Modelling where we talk about Cardinality, Relationships and Data Models
DAX in Power BI where we talk about different functions to create calculations
CAPSTONE Project where we analyze COVID_19 data set
This course is action packed and over 12 hours long. I hope you enjoy the course as much as I enjoyed teaching it.
Cheers!
