Power BI Training
What is Power BI?
Power BI has been out since 2015, and is fast becoming the go-to technology for business analytics. Its core components are available in Excel, so I consider it to be “Son of Excel”.
Power BI has two main aspects: Power BI Desktop, a computer application used for modelling your data and producing reports, and the Power BI Service, an online subscription-based SaaS (Software as a Service) which hosts your published reports, adds dashboard functionality and lets you share these across your organisation.
Why use Power BI?
Data visualisation tools such as Power BI can give your business focus and clarity, providing actionable insights and helping you make better business decisions.
Spot trends and anomalies in your business data and explore the possible reasons for these
Combine your data with external information, such as weather statistics or exchange rates, for deeper insights into your business
Keep an eye on important metrics and KPIs and trigger notifications
Scalable to industry-level use, with true Big Data capacity
