As technology progresses and becomes more interwoven with our businesses and lives, more data is collected about business and personal activities. This era of "big data" has exploded due to the rise of cloud computing, which provides an abundance of computational power and storage, allowing organizations of all sorts to capture and store data. Leveraging that data effectively can provide timely insights and a competitive advantage.

The creation of data-backed visualizations is a key way data scientists, or any professional, can explore, analyze, and report insights and trends from data. This Microsoft® Power BI® Data Analysis Professional training course software is designed for this purpose. Power BI was built to connect to a wide range of data sources, and allows users to quickly create visualizations of connected data to gain insights, show trends, and create reports. Power BI's data connection capabilities and visualization features go far beyond those that can be found in spreadsheets, allowing users to create compelling and interactive worksheets, dashboards, and stories that bring data to life and turn data into thoughtful action.


Course Objectives:

 In this course, you will explore and visualize data with Power BI.

You will:

  •     Analyze data with self-service BI.
  •     Connect to data sources.
  •     Perform advanced data modeling and shaping.

What Our Clients Say

"For a senior technical person, the best of this course is setting a structured and methodical approach for evaluation techniques we already use. It would be also very beneficial to senior managers (100+ reports). There is a huge hype on Gen AI at the moment, and this course will help them see the potential, current limitations and pitfalls of this technology".

 

Critical Thinking with AI for tech professionals

In-person course October '25

 


“It was very positive. This course was 4 days but covered a semester worth of work if it was done in college. The labs were relevant and delegates were provided the lab/coursebook for further study and practice after the course finished. GuruTeam's course was excellent and provides a deeper understanding of the architecture and how it all works. The hands-on aspect was very helpful as it helped solidify the concepts as I went along."

“The experience was complete for me. I like how the training was sequenced - the slides organization, the examples and explanations and then the exercises. Time for exercises and support by the Instructor was great plus answering the questions and going out for answers and coming back with examples as brilliant. I loved how much I refreshed and how I learned and got inspired to improve stuff at work.”
