Gémes Brigitta trainer
The target audience for this training is primarily data analysts and reporting professionals, but we welcome anyone who wants to replace their old Excel-based reports (Pivot tables) and PowerPoint-embedded charts with a new, versatile analytical tool for modern, interactive dashboards. During the course, participants will learn how to import large amounts of data from multiple sources into Power BI, explore available data cleaning options, build data models to link and analyze the data, and finally, present it through engaging, interactive visualizations.
Description
The aim of the training is to introduce the unrivalled data processing and visualisation capabilities of Power BI to participants who have not worked with the tool before. The training will cover topics such as data collection and management, data model building and data visualization.
