The Power BI Desktop for Data Analysis course is designed to equip aspiring analysts and professionals with the practical skills needed to turn raw data into interactive and insightful dashboards. This 14-hour hands-on course guides you through the complete data analytics lifecycle using Power BI—from importing data and transforming it to designing stunning visual reports and publishing them online via Power BI Service.

We begin with an Introduction to Power BI, where learners explore the interface, understand its capabilities, and learn how to connect to various data sources like Excel, CSV, SQL Server, and web-based APIs.

With a focus on data modeling and visualization, the course walks you through Power Query Editor for cleaning and transforming data, applying calculated columns and measures using DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), and creating dynamic visual reports using charts, cards, slicers, tables, and maps.

You’ll also learn how to enhance interactivity with drill-throughs, tooltips, and slicer panels, along with best practices for report layout and design. Once the reports are ready, the course transitions to Power BI Service, where you'll learn to publish your dashboards, schedule data refresh, set permissions, and collaborate through shared workspaces.
