Power BI Advanced

1-day course

Course Overview

This advanced course takes a deep dive into creating visualisations that incorporate AI to greatly enhance your data analysis experience. It looks at the Analytics pane to spot trends and at configuring anomaly detection, that helps you to understand whether you have quality issues in your data. It includes key influencer visuals, as the name suggests, key influencers allow you to understand the factors that drive a certain metric that you’re interested in.

Learn how to use parameters to ask ‘what if’ questions about your data and to consolidate multiple tasks. The course also looks at forecasting features that allow you to predict future behaviour patterns in your data, and explains how to use DAX to build a date tables that gives you greater control over Power BI’s time intelligence features

Prerequisite

The assumption is that you are already using Power BI on a regular basis and understand the processes of analysing data, writing DAX measures, and building dashboards. If not, then we recommend taking the 2-day Power BI Intermediate course before attending this one.
