Program Professional Framework

Microsoft Power BI Training

Program Overview

Rolling out Power BI across a department involves more than building reports: data sources must be connected reliably, models must be reusable, and content must reach the right people securely. This practical programme covers Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service together, including data preparation, modelling and DAX, report building, workspaces and apps, gateways and scheduled refresh, sharing and permissions, and usage monitoring, so participants can both create content and manage it for their teams.

Learning Outcomes

✓Connect to on-premises and cloud data sources and configure an on-premises data gateway for refresh.
✓Build a reusable semantic model that several reports can share.
✓Create reports with core DAX measures and interactive visuals for a team's KPIs.
✓Organise content in workspaces and distribute it through apps with appropriate roles.
✓Configure row-level security, sensitivity labels and sharing settings in line with data policy.
✓Monitor usage metrics and refresh history to maintain reliable content.
