There are three parts to creating a Power BI report, all of which are covered by this two-day course. Firstly, you'll learn how to get data from all manner of different sources, how to use Query Editor to manipulate the results and how to build a data model; secondly, you'll learn how to create, format and use visualisations (tables, charts, gauges, maps and many more); and thirdly, you'll learn how to create calculated columns using basic DAX language. You'll also learn how to publish reports to Power BI Service. If you're not sure whether you want to book on this course or on our two-day Excel Power BI tools course, have a look here.
