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, using Query Editor to manipulate the results; 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 and measures using basic DAX language. You'll also learn how to use Power BI Web, and get an overview of Power BI Mobile.
