Microsoft Office training - Fast track Power BI/DAX

Power BI Training

3-day intensive Power BI/DAX training course

3 days

There is a LOT to learn in Power BI, which is why we've split our Power BI training into three two-day courses (an introduction to Power BI, showing how to write measures in DAX and showing some more advanced Power BI features).  However, we've had a few clients who want to accelerate this process, squeezing nearly 6 days of learning into an intensive three-day fast track course.  This isn't for everyone, which is why it's only available for single company courses.

Our fast-track courses are only available as tailored training, either at your premises or at either our London or Manchester venues (here's why).
