What is Power BI?

Well let's start at the beginning: Business Intelligence, commonly referred to as "BI", is one of the fastest growing and most in-demand fields in technology.

But that doesn't really explain what BI is, does it?

BI is a broad term that encompasses data mining, data analysis, performance benchmarking using KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), and descriptive analytics.

So what is Power BI?

Power BI is the industry-leading complete Business Intelligence solution (“BI in a box”) from Microsoft. In short, it's the go-to tool used in the real world for managing and analyzing data, and providing business intelligence.

Why Learn Power BI?

Why? Because Power BI is awesome! It combines capabilities for:

• Fetching and transforming data from a wide variety of sources, everything from text files to spreadsheets to relational databases
• Modeling that data by forming relationships between different data sources
• Creating powerful calculations and KPIs using Power BI DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), the built-in formula language
• Translating those KPIs into actionable intelligence using a wide range of fancy visualizations
• Power BI’s components and their functionality, by design, align with a typical BI workflow

And its extensive suite of tools, including Power BI reports, visualizations and dashboards, can translate the results of any data analysis into visually compelling and meaningful presentations that will blow your audience away.

And this byte-sized course you'll learn the fundamentals of Power BI - entirely from scratch, making this the perfect course for beginners!
