Data Analysis with Microsoft Power BI - Introduction

This intensive 1 day, hands-on course is part of 3 days Data Analysis with Power BI PRO, and helps you to gain a comprehensive, practical understanding of Power BI and takes you from complete beginner to advanced level.

Creating data-backed visualizations is key for data scientists, or any professional, to explore, analyse, and report insights and trends from data. Microsoft® Power BI software is designed for this purpose. Power BI was built to connect to a wide range of data sources. It enables users to quickly create visualizations of connected data to gain insights, show trends, and create reports.

Power BI's data connection capabilities and visualization features go far beyond those that can be found in spreadsheets. It enables users to create compelling and interactive worksheets, dashboards, and stories that bring data to life and turn data into thoughtful action.

Since a tool is only as good as the person using it, it is important to gain an understanding of Power BI to maximize your effectiveness when analysing data.

You can choose either our Classroom training at one of our venues or Live, Instructor-led Virtual training from the comfort of your home.

Testimonials from our Website and Google Reviews

I was absolutely delighted with the Excel courses that Infero delivered which more than exceeded my expectation. I learnt new ways of using Excel that I can now use in my day to day work to make my work more efficient. Pivot tables were always a mystery to me but now I use them regularly to display HR and Payrol data.

Had Excel training with Infero last week, I must say it was a good day, I am not the most gifted on excel, but after spending the day with our tutor Martin I came away with a lot more confidence and knowledge, and i will be back for more at a later date, Martin paced the course excellently so no one got left behind or not understanding how to do something. We had good rapport with Martin, even though he forgot how to spell his name :) must be an age thing Lol

I attended the level 3b training course offered by Infero Training and, like with many similar courses I have attended, was initially worried that it would be too much information to take in at once. However, the manuals and exercises provided along with the guidance and experience of our trainer Martin made the course interactive, concise and, dare i say it, enjoyable. I would highly recommend.

I attended the Microsoft Excel Basic and Excel Intermediate course which I found very useful. Martin is an excellent trainer, made you feel at ease, he is very helpful and patient. I wish I had undertaken the training ages ago as would have been very beneficial in my previous role.
