Gather, model, analyse and present data with Power BI
Microsoft Power BI Essentials
Microsoft Power BI is a suite of business intelligence (BI) services that allows business users to perform sophisticated data analysis turning data into actionable insights.
In this beginner course we will introduce the Power BI Desktop program and use it to fetch data from a variety of sources. We will then look at how we can use the simple drag-and-drop interface to create stunning visuals in an interactive report. Finally, we will publish the report to the online service where we create a dashboard and look at how we use both to derive business insights.

“But also the programs were fabulous because they are really practical. It’s not just here’s how you use it. It’s really about how you embed it into your everyday work life which is what I like about it.”
“I had no idea of how much I didn’t know. This is a game changer for efficiency and organisation.”
“Outlook to me was just a repository for emails, but now it is transformed into a powerful automated planning tool. Thank you Mary! I also like how you consider typography when setting up the layout and solution.”
“Brilliant presenter, kept the session engaging. Very knowledgeable without overloading”
“Brendan was awesome, I liked the way he made the training engaging and interactive although it was virtual. One of the very few virtual trainings I have enjoyed”

“I was hesitant on how much I could learn on an 8 hour outlook course but the course exceeded my expectations and I was surprised by how much I took away from the course.”
“Nicky was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was comfortable with before going on to the next stage. Nicky’s interaction with us was amazing as she explained things well and nothing was a problem for her if someone needed help.”
“It changed my life really. I felt like I’d been baptized at the end- I really felt so much lighter and freer! I’m in control of my life, actually I can, I can work the way I want to work.”
“A HUGE thank you for the OneNote training that I completed. Having completed courses previously, I was expecting similar basic content and a struggle to say engaged. I was pleasantly surprised by Marys knowledge and ability to engage all attendees from beginners through to more advanced users, covering a range of skills, including more advanced use scenarios. I learnt a lot and have already applied many of the skills that I learnt.”
“The course and facilitator were great and therefore was served well. I learnt so many new things. Our facilitator was a great teacher. Very knowledgeable, spoke at a good pace.”
“Enjoyed the session and got a few great tips and better ideas on managing emails and tasks thanks so much.”

“Thanks for putting on such amazing training sessions for our employees over the past 2 weeks, we have had incredible feedback about how valuable they found the Outlook training and how great a facilitator Dani is. One employee reached out saying it was the best training she has ever done, which is a testament to how good the content and facilitators are!”
“I am very happy with the content, how Brendan facilitated the training etc. Everything was concise, meaningful and respectful.”
