Business Applications Certification Overview
Power BI Desktop is part of the suite of tools from Microsoft which enable data to be analyzed and published from a variety of sources.
With Power BI Desktop, you get a report authoring tool that enables you to connect to and query data using the Query Editor. From the datasets you build with Query Editor you can create reports and add visuals within Power BI Desktop. Reports can then be published.
This course covers the use of Power BI Desktop to connect to data, query the data, add visuals and publish a report. It also includes pinning published visuals to a basic dashboard.
Please Note: This course is not suitable for new Microsoft Excel users.
