Program Professional Framework

Power BI: Beginner Data Analysis Techniques

Program Overview

This introductory programme is designed for professionals who have worked mainly in Excel and want to produce their first interactive reports. It explains how Power BI Desktop is organised, how to import and tidy data from spreadsheets, how tables relate to each other, how to create simple measures, and how to build and format clear visuals and filters. By the end participants can build a small report from their own data, publish it and share it with colleagues, with good habits that prepare them for more advanced work.

Learning Outcomes

✓Navigate Power BI Desktop views and understand the role of each.
✓Import Excel and CSV data and apply basic Power Query steps such as removing columns, changing types and filtering rows.
✓Create relationships between two or three tables and test that filters work as expected.
✓Write simple DAX measures for sums, counts, averages and percentages.
✓Build a one-page report with cards, bar, line and table visuals and slicers.
✓Publish the report to the Power BI service and share it with colleagues.
