Overview of the topics and practical exercises.

What is Power BI & Power BI Desktop

Microsoft Power BI is a business intelligence tool that connects to various data sources and creates interactive visualizations to help you uncover insights. 
Whether your data comes from Excel, CSV files, or cloud and on-premises databases, Power BI lets you connect, transform, model, and visualize data easily. 

In this module, you will: 

  • Understand what Power BI is and its business value 
  • Install and navigate Power BI Desktop 
  • Identify key components and regional settings 
  • Learn core features and the Power BI workflow  

Shaping data with Power BI Desktop

Power BI Desktop connects to multiple data sources through built-in connectors. Power Query, its data transformation engine, enables you to clean, reshape, and prepare data using an intuitive interface. 

In this module, you will: 

  • Identify different data connectors 
  • Connect to sources such as Excel, CSV, and PBIDS 
  • Assess data using Column Quality, Distribution, and Profile 
  • Apply basic transformations, handle nulls and errors, and adjust data types 
  • Create Index, Conditional, and Example-based columns 
  • Group and aggregate data 
  • Pivot and unpivot tables 
  • Merge and append queries using Power Query Editor  

What is data modeling?

Data modeling involves organizing data from multiple sources and defining relationships between tables to create a unified model. In Power BI Desktop, this allows you to build dynamic visuals and reports. 

A well-designed model simplifies data and improves report performance. You will also learn how to use the star schema and create calculated columns and measures using DAX (Data Analysis Expressions). 

In this module, you will: 

  • Define and create a data model 
  • Build and manage relationships between tables 
  • Understand relationship cardinality  

DAX overview

Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) is the formula language in Power BI, used for calculations and data analysis. It helps you create measures, columns, and tables for advanced reporting. 

In this module, you will: 

  • Create DAX tables, columns, and measures 
  • Use operators and mathematical functions 
  • Apply date, time, and text functions 
  • Use CALCULATE and FILTER functions for dynamic results 

Visualizing Data with Power BI Reports

Power BI makes it easy to create insightful reports with rich visualizations that help you explore data and make informed decisions. 

In this module, you will: 

  • Explore built-in visual types and their applications 
  • Create visuals such as bar charts, line charts, hierarchy charts, and Sankey diagrams 
  • Use filters, slicers, and drill-through features for deeper analysis
