Power BI Desktop is a user-friendly tool created by Microsoft to “Enable everyone at every level of your organization to make confident decisions using up-to-the-minute analytics.”

Now that you have mastered the basics of Power BI and you have connected, cleaned, shaped, and calculated your data, it is time to make your data shine. In this 3-hour class, Leza Wood, Microsoft Certified Trainer, will discuss different types of visualization tools available in Power BI Desktop, and how to use those tools most effectively. Visualizations are a great way to tell a story with your data. Because our brains process pictures faster than text and numbers, visualizations tell the story faster. You know your data. Let Power BI Desktop help you display what your data is predicting, the patterns that are being revealed and how that relates to other chunks of data. 

Participants will learn how to Visualize, publish, and share data in this class. The whole point to connecting data, cleaning it, and shaping it, is to make sense of the data. Power BI lets you take the wheel and ask the questions you need to ask of your data. This course will show you how to ask questions and get answers in a visual format. Once the answers have been revealed, you will want to share with others. This course also covers sharing reports, workspaces, and dashboards.

Participants should leave this class with a better understanding of how to create visualizations to tell a story and how to share that story.
