Using PowerBI to communicate effectively with data

PowerBI

Increasingly in today’s business environment we are all required to understand, analyse and present data. Tools such as Excel and Powerpoint are fine when it comes to basic data presentations, but when it comes to greater data challenges we all need more serious tools.

This course is designed to introduce both business and technical audiences to the basics of Microsoft’s PowerBI application. This workshop is intentionally designed to be very interactive and hands-on using a range of real-world examples, supported by clear and easy-to-understand frameworks and tips-and-tricks, that will elevate your practical skills for producing meaningful analysis of today’s data.

Paul will provide expert guidance through the maze of challenges facing all of us when asked to analyse ever-increasing amounts of data being produced for audiences around the world. You will be taken on an engaging journey through entertaining and informative hands-on examples, and gain insights for the real-world application for delivering compelling PowerBI reports that will help answer your critical business questions.
