Learn By Doing - Power BI
This immersive course is designed for beginners and professionals seeking hands-on experience with Power BI. You’ll start with foundational skills like data retrieval and transformation, then progress to advanced techniques such as DAX expressions, data modeling, and workspace management. Through guided workshops, live demos, and a capstone project, you’ll learn to turn raw data into actionable insights while collaborating with peers. By the end, you’ll confidently design end-to-end analytics solutions and deliver value through compelling visualizations.
