Nowadays, data is what drives every possible business branch. However, gathering even the best and most useful information is useless until its users can fully see and understand its patterns, trends, and outliers. In summary, Power BI uses tools to take raw data and turn it into valuable insights that can be foundations for strategies, plans and actions of entire organizations. It can be particularly useful in Data Science and Research, IT, Finance and Banking, Healthcare, Logistics, and any other industry that uses Data Analytics.
Basing on our training experience, we can ensure you that MS Power BI is not hard to learn. Its simple interface is easy to grasp even for new learners. At the same time, Power BI also offers features for more advanced users, and learning them would take some time without previous BI experience. Nonetheless, with the help of qualified trainers from Comarch, many practical exercises and your true dedication and work, learning Power BI is possible in just two days of our online course.
There are a lot of reasons why Comarch Training Center is your go-to place to get a complete and efficient training on VBA and macro programming.
First and foremost, a well-recognizable, experienced trainer – Sławomir Sroka, who is a certified expert in the field of VBA programming in MS Excel, and has been conducting trainings and consultations for more than 10 years.
To start the Power BI training, you are required to have an intermediate level of knowledge of the Windows environment (including its main applications) and the use of a spreadsheet. Additional knowledge of PowerPivot, DAX, and Power Query will be useful, but is not required.
Power BI is a valuable tool that helps mastering big volumes of information created by business every day. If you deal with floods of big data, perform data analysis and create reports using data from different systems, you already know how challenging it is to also draw patterns and trends that will make people SEE things in a wider context. That’s why data visualization is a critical skill for today’s data analysts and other specialists — it simply helps communicate results you’ve invested so much time and effort to formulate.
The Power BI – Data Analysis and Visualization training takes 16 hours and has a well-organized program. In the first step, you will get an introduction to Business Intelligence and a tools overview – you will learn the Power Bi Desktop: for loading and transforming data, working with a data model, working with visualizations, and publishing reports, and Power BI Online: for sharing reports Datasets, Reports and Dashboard.
After getting familiar with these tools, you will start loading data and creating standard or custom visualizations. In the next step, we will teach you how to manage the filters. The last part of the training concerns data model – creating relationships, adding calculations (DAX) and grouping or creating hierarchies.
By the end of this course, you will be able to implement your own Business Intelligence solution, starting from getting data from external sources, through creating a simple data model, defining your own measures and formulas with the use of DAX, to preparing an interactive report consisting of visualizations available in Power BI. What’s more, you will get to know Power BI Desktop application and Power BI as a cloud service. This means the possibility of implementing the idea of Self-Service BI – creating own analytical solutions without much involvement of your future or current company’s IT departments. This increases the efficiency of your work and reduce the cost of the entire process.
There are no other than only general requirements you’ll need a notebook or a desktop computer running Windows OS (at least Windows 10) and a stable Internet connection. If your computer doesn’t offer a set of speakers and a microphone, remember to get yourself a headset to communicate with the trainer. To start learning Power BI, you will have to install the latest version of Power BI Desktop or to have the latest version pre-installed. All necessary Power Bi training files and other materials will be provided by us. Last but not least, don’t forget to bring your eagerness to learn!
