As someone just learning Power BI the course has been very informative and has enhanced my skill set working with a new program and will help me advance my organizations data analysis for our programs.

By Ademola Leshaodo on 2/6/2026

It was a perfect match. The facilitator calmly explained the processes. It was quite easy following him through the training. I didn't have a reason to struggle to catchup. The training was well paced.

By Laura Ferreira on 12/30/2025

Very helpful and I can immediately apply what I've learned but the racing example was too foreign. Would have preferred a relatable business example like the sales example at the end - it's easier to assimilate that to the average corporate measurement/reporting scenarios.

By Darshan Tijoriwala on 9/23/2025

It has been a good experience till now. It is really helpful for people who are starting with Power BI. The explanation and examples are really good and also the small assignments that are provided in order to have hands on experience

By Ketan jiri on 7/5/2025

As part of my journey into data analysis, I enrolled in this Power BI course and found it to be exceptionally well-structured. The content is thoughtfully aligned with real-world requirements and covers all the essential aspects of Power BI. The sessions are well-curated, delivered at a comfortable pace, and easy to understand—even for beginners. Whenever needed, referring to Microsoft documentation adds further clarity and depth. I would highly recommend this course to new learners looking to build a strong foundation in data visualization and analysis.

By Michael Harvey on 9/3/2024

This is my 2nd UDEMY course with Malvik, and as with the first - ADF, I highly recommend it. Malviks examples are useful, topical, and he provides additional insights and trouble-shooting tips. The section on Data Modelling will be helpful for those new to Power BI and/or working with data. I have another one of his courses queued up after I'm down with this course - MS Fabric. As always, looking forward to taking my Tech skills and knowledge to the next level and courses and instructors like Malvik are a part of that strategy!

By Nilav Rudra on 8/21/2024

Really well taught through examples and hands-on practical project. After completing the course, I feel confident on being able to use and explore Power BI on my own and even work on projects with it.

By Shilpi jain on 3/17/2023

Yes, This is pretty much course and I am satisfied from the course . when a course will be complete so definitely I'll take another course and I will expecting a discount whenever I will take another course.

By Andrew Romero on 2/15/2023

Wow, I've got to say that Malvik is a great teacher. He is engaging, straightforward but thorough with his explanations, and really helped me gain confidence in working with Power BI. I did purchase this course because it included DAX and was a little disappointed to see it didn't include too many hours on that topic but was otherwise very happy with the content.

By Ali K on 12/1/2022

Great course. Thank you for making it. I learnt a lot. Although I would expect a bit more on Dax and exercises. When providing instructions fro exercises, if you can go a bit slow or display on screen while you speak that will be perfect. Thank you again.
