Advanced Power BI Reports training course contents

If you've got the hang of the basic Power BI software, take two days out of your busy life to delve more into Microsoft's powerful BI software tool. On this course you'll learn many things, including:

Lots of ways to apply conditional formatting to visuals
How (and when) to use the decomposition tree, key influencers tool, smart narratives and other standard visuals
Lots of ideas for custom visuals that you can use to enhance your reports
How to use bookmarks, page navigation and advanced drill-down features to make your reports easier to use
How to use report tooltips to make your reports easier to interpret

The idea is to build on what you learned on our two-day introduction to Power BI course. If you're more interested in loading, transforming and manipulating data you should probably look at our two-day Advanced Power BI (Data) course instead.

What other people have said

Our thanks to everyone who agreed to share their thoughts. All of the following reviews are from the last 3 calendar years:

"I was really impressed with the trainer who was knowlegable, articulate and engaging."

Chris Webb (UK Research & Innovation (UKRI))

"Very good training. Well paced, thorough and interactive. Supporting materials were very good and the trainer was very approachable, very helpful and had a really good manner."

Neil Harrison (Halton Borough Council)

"Really enjoyed the course, it had so so many examples that are going to be really easy to refer back to. I enjoyed breaking things down to the understanding of why something works, thanks!"

Holly Fry (The Phoenix Group)

"Great course, well timed and structured and hands on, really enjoyable."

Peter Thorley (Cheshire East Council)

"I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was the first excel course I’ve ever been on that was pitched at completely the right level. The tutor was very knowledgeable and took time to answer any queries we had. She checked in with us on our existing knowledge and then built on it. The practice tasks and the materials you go away with will mean I have the ability to regain knowledge on any tasks I don’t immediately start using. The snacks were also appreciated!"

How our training courses work

Below are some notes on how Wise Owl courses work, to help you decide whether they're for you or not.

What you'll need

If you book on a classroom course, the only thing you need to bring to the course is ... yourself! We even provide a notepad and a suprisingly nice pen for you to take notes with.

For online training you'll need two things:

A good internet connection (otherwise you'll have a frustrating time); and
A second screen (a requirement, not a nice-to-have!)

You can see full details of our online course requirements here.

When you book a place

If you book a place on one of our courses:

For classroom courses we will send out a joining email. That's it!
For online courses we will get in touch to organise a half-hour pre-course check to iron out any connection problems before the course (rather than during it).

Whatever type of course you book, we will also send you out a reminder a few days before the course is due to take place - not that (we hope) you'll have forgotten!

What you won't need

For classroom training, you won't need a computer - we (obviously) will provide that. However, you're welcome to use your own laptop if you prefer, providing that you have the correct software installed.

For online training you will need a computer, but you won't need to have any software installed. This is because you'll use Windows Remote Desktop to connect to our computers, and these will have all of the necessary files and software installed.

The start of the course

For online courses you will be able to join up to half an hour before the course begins. This will give you time to:

familiarise yourself with the set-up;
meet your trainer; and
get to know the other delegates!

For classroom training it's always nice if people arrive a bit early too, to give people time to meet each other (and drink coffee).

You'll be given a full colour courseware manual, an exercise booklet to go with the course and a USB stick for taking course files away (we'll post all this to you for online courses).

After the course

After the course finishes you'll receive a digital certificate proving your attendance (we will gladly send a paper copy on request also).

We don't have any formal arrangement for answering questions after the course, but if you get stuck on something and email your trainer they should (and nearly always do!) respond as quickly as their training schedule allows.
