Having worked as abusiness analyst in both a major consultancy and an investment bank, I always found myself confrontedwith bothvarious and complex problem sets and challenging client demands. The rapid development oftechnologyand business requirements forces everyone toconstantlyadapt and to continue learning.

Being an early adopter of new and quickly evolvingtools, I always enjoyed both learning these tools andpassing on my knowledge to my colleagues and fellow students.
Since working as a business analystimplies a high affinity to programming, I also enjoyworking as a web developer. It's that combination of self-taught knowledgeand its application in a highly competitive consulting environment for various clientswhich gave me the ability toevaluate solutionsfrom an industry perspective as well asfrom a learner's perspective. The latter also allows me toidentify thepain points students might hit when learning these tools.
Since I always found it hard to find high quality, understandable and comprehensive learning materials,I decided to createsuch materials on my own. Together with Maximilian Schwarzmller I founded Academind to offer the best possible learning experience on web development and data science to our more than 600,000 students.

A very comprehensive course, explaining everything step by step. The course though lasts for 10 hours. The rest 10 hours is the OLD COURSE, which is practically the same, just in the old version of Power Bi.

By Sumeet Pattanayak on 11/14/2020

Everything basic and advanced required to learn about PowerBI has been excellently covered.

By Anjali Bisht on 11/7/2020

the course covered all the necessary topics. Do I need to complete the old version as well to get the certificate?

By Henriette Wevell on 11/7/2020

It is very thorough and well done. Although, I would recommend a more advanced course for someone with 2+ years of general SQL/BI experience.

By Imran Raza on 11/7/2020

Manuel Lorenz you rock. Love the way you explain the concepts with a combination of brilliant ppt and product/cod demo. You make learning, so easy with your systematic and planned demos. I really enjoyed each and every module and understood it to the full. Thanks to Maximilian Schwarzmller as well for hand on typescript module at the end. I have one concern though, now with the old course videos still there I need to mandatorily go through them to attain certificate. Can't they be made optional.

By Sennett Khong on 10/23/2020

Too superficial, like the title says it is just an introduction to power BI. You don't learn much from this course. Every single topic is skimmed through without much depth. I would recommend another Power BI course instead by Maven Analytics called "Microsoft Power BI - Up and running with Power BI Desktop". Although it only covers Power BI Desktop, its more in depth and I have learnt more from it.

By Jakub Bedyk on 10/21/2020

I've chosen this course mainly because of it's 22+hours duration. In fact it's around 10hour long, the remaining part is a old version/repeated course. It's important to mention I believe. Overall it was one good course.

By Sankara on 10/18/2020

This is one of the best courses I have taken in Udemy. Very well explained and course is updated to reflect the latest PowerBI interface. This will be a huge help in my career as I am preparing lot of visuals. I had no clue about the difference between Query Editor and Data Model until I took this course. Many thanks to Manuel and also Max.
