This course is based on Microsoft learning materials, sample data and over all documentation. It is taught hands on through practical examples. Students will learn how to connect disparate data sets, transform and clean the data into a data model and create charts or graphs to provide visuals of the data. All of this can be shared with other PowerBI users within the organization. Microsoft Power BI is used to find insights within an organization’s data.
