Introduction to Power BI

When making business decisions, a chart, graph, or other visualization is often more helpful than a spreadsheet or a collection of numbers. Discovering the relationship between variables (even seemingly unrelated ones) can give your company a competitive advantage (How does the number of emails your sales team sends relate to overall sales?).

Understanding your data can uncover new opportunities, produce profound insights, and simplify tough decisions, and learning the basics of Microsoft’s data analytics tool is a great starting place.

This class introduces users to Power BI Desktop.* Lunch is included, and the class will cover the following topics:

• What is Power BI?
• System requirements
• Parts of the Power BI Desktop interface
• Connecting to enterprise data
• Types of data visuals

*We recommend attendees bring a laptop with Microsoft Power BI installed to follow along with the class in a hands-on fashion.
