Do It Yourself Business Intelligence

Half Day Course

Microsoft has created an alternative environment for creating user-interactive reports using rich visuals without Excel. The free Power BI Desktop application allows business professionals to create analysis from your raw data using quick and easy drag-and-drop processes, similar to Excel’s Power View, but without the need to invest in Excel 2013/2016.

If you have an older version of Office, are using a Mac, or have large data sets that require the additional memory space of a 64-bit application, Power BI Desktop is for you. It has more than twice the data visualizations available in Power View, connects to many more external data sources, includes all of the data connections and transformation capabilities of Power Query, and allows completed analysis to be shared or published to PowerBI.com. Power BI Desktop opens a new era in data analysis and reporting. Don't miss this opportunity to see this amazing new reporting tool in action.
