Description

Microsoft Power BI has become indispensable in business today. It's a very powerful application for building dashboards and reports that make data clear and insightful. But if you're not familiar with Power BI yourself, it can be quite a challenge to properly understand reports built by others. This training is designed for end users who work with Power BI reports made available to them. You'll learn how to better understand and use these reports, and how to analyse them in depth, individually or as a team.

Keep in mind that this course doesn't teach you how to build reports. If that's what you're looking for, check out our Power BI: Core Features 1 training.

Objectives

After this training you'll know your way around the Power BI service. You'll be able to interpret Power BI reports and dashboards using features such as filtering, drill down, drill through, personalised visuals and bookmarks. You'll also know how to integrate reports with Teams and how to export data to other (Office) applications such as PowerPoint, Excel and PDF.

Target audience

End users who receive Power BI reports and want to understand and use them properly.
