Prepare for a future in today's dynamic business environment by enhancing your data analysis and visualization skills with Power BI. During this Professional Edge training, you will be equipped with the skills to move beyond the confines of stagnant data and transform it into a living, breathing dashboard.

In the organizations you will work for, vast amounts of data will be collected every day. Your ability to extract meaningful insights and make informed decisions is a game-changer.

You'll learn to:

• Transform data – Format data to extract actionable insights.
• Create data models – Present your data intuitively and in a visually engaging way, making it easier for your audience to understand complex information.
• Visualize data – Tell the story of your data in quick, responsive analytics.
• Share assets – The power of automation ensures that your data reaches the right people at the right time.

NOTE: This training requires access to a computer running a Windows operating system. Power BI is NOT available on MacOS computers, including MacBooks.
