Day 1
The focus of the first day of the course is to get to know Power BI Desktop and Power Query, including the visualization options, and to allay any fears of making mistakes.
After a short round of introductions, there will be a tool introduction with joint exploration of the Power BI and Power Query user interface.
You will learn how different data sources can be connected to Power BI and gain basic knowledge of how data can be prepared effectively.
We get to know the different types of visualizations in Power BI, including tricks to make visualizations more elegant and easier to understand.
You will get to know Data Analysis Expressions (DAX). We will write our first calculations together and learn about the relevance of different contexts in the dashboard using practical examples.
You will learn how to handle different data bases, divide tables into fact and dimension tables and organize connections.
Day 2
We deepen our understanding of data modeling and explore advanced elements of Power BI as we build our first full dashboard together. Get ready for your first own dashboard!
We deepen our understanding of DAX and look at best practices for more complex calculations. Logical functions and the use of parameters are covered.
We dive into advanced dashboard elements (bookmarks, custom tooltips etc.) and build our first complete dashboard.
We finalize the dashboard together and learn practical ways to optimize the aesthetics.
The training ends with an open round for questions and feedback. We value your feedback for future workshops.
Goal of the training
After successfully completing the course, you will be able to independently prepare data in Power Query, develop your own analyses and create appealing visualizations in Power BI. We will prepare you to understand and analyse your organization’s data treasures and use them to tell exciting stories. Not only will you go home with your first own dashboard, but also with plenty of motivation and a certificate for your participation in the training.
