The Power BI for Business Users beginner-level course will give you all the skills you need to jump-start your Power BI journey as a Power BI Business User.
Power BI Business Users are required to access reports and/or dashboards, and potentially other objects, that have been created by report designers using Power BI Desktop. However, as a Power BI Business User, you may not have access to this application, but you will be required to look for trends and insights in the content they created. This is where you will use the Power BI Service, Power BI, in the cloud.
During the course, you will learn what Dashboards, Reports, Visuals and Apps are and how to navigate the Power BI Service, enabling you to interact with those objects. You will interact with visuals to display the results how you want to view them by Sorting, Filtering and utilizing the in-built drill-down functionality.
We will explore how to view visuals in Focus mode or Full-Screen mode, how to create a Data Alert and how to work with Q&A using human-readable questions.
Course closure will include a Questions and Answers section and will describe how you can access additional support, such as Coaching and Follow-Up sessions. The course will close with an Evaluation to enable you to provide targeted feedback.
