Course Description

Power BI - Data Analytics Essentials with Power BI:

Many students who have taken this course have found it detailed and easy to understand. At the end of the course, you will be able to take my virtual Power BI Developer Internship program that also comes with a Certificate.

​“In God we trust, all others must bring data”.

​The famous quote by W. Edwards Deming has never been more true than it does in today's world.

​Far gone are the days business decision makers take critical decisions based on haunches, intuition and gut feelings.

​These days, everyone has come to realize that better and more accurate decisions can be made when data is put into good use. And there is data everywhere. The problem is, there is a shortage in the number of people who can put it into good use.

​The Power BI course is designed to arm participants with knowledge on using the most highly rated Data Analytics and Business Intelligence Tool, Power BI to go from data to insights.​

​Participants will quickly learn from a Microsoft Certified Trainer and 5 times MVP,  the bolts of the key concepts required to be a Power BI expert.

Complex concepts are described in simplified manner to make the learners' journey easier.

And not just that, the facilitator will be on ground, supporting any participant with challenges working with Power BI afterwards.

This course covers the essentials of Power BI Desktop including:

  1. Data Preparation

  2. Data Modeling

  3. Data Visualization

  4. DAX

In the Data Preparation section, I explained the rules for clean data structure. I also show how to connect Power BI to a system Folder, an approach that eases data updates for reports.

The Data Modeling section shows how you can eliminate redundant data from a large data set by separating the tables into Fact and Dimension Tables. You will see how to do this from scratch using a methodical approach.

In the Data Visualization section, I have included a write up that will guide you in ensuring that you always select the right kind of charts for your reporting and dashboards

Although, I have created a separate dedicated course for more in-depth explanations on DAX, the DAX content here is an excellent place to start your DAX Knowledge.

Enjoy the course!

Great info! needs an update on versions. Some visualization tools have moved now in 2026. so had to pause and dig around to find the updated version quite a few times.

By Stacey Lai on 7/27/2026

So far, the tutorial is very helpful. Some components took time to find because of update to labels. For example, Average was not under Analysis.

By Afsana Ali on 7/13/2026

Very informative and I feel confident using Power BI as someone who had no prior experience. Only thing I would say is some repetition such as formatting the pages.

By Tim R. Brown on 6/18/2026

This is a great course. Years ago I was a DBA and ETL developer and wrote Oracle SQL and Unix OS C-shell commands to accomplish what Power BI does today. It's sinfully easy. I feel like a pirate.

By Luke Maresca on 6/2/2026

I know it would be a gigantic pain in the ass, but please update the course with the latest PowerBI interface.

By Omotosho Quadri on 2/18/2026

This course really helped me from beginner level to advanced level of data analytics with powerbi. It is a great course and i am glad i am able to see through it till the end.

By Shamein Makungu Sabeka on 2/10/2026

As a Power BI beginner this course is very helpful, I am understanding concepts that I didn't understand before.

By Ricardo Parris on 1/29/2026

This course is a good match to the essencials to be familiar with Power BI desktop and services

By Punith PS on 1/6/2026

Wonderful teaching, covered almost all the topics that is enough required to know about PowerBI. Thanks

By Anonymized User on 11/11/2025

Yes, Very good course, good examples. I would like to make a comment: I think it would have been better without the use of the magnifying glass to view insert and Measure formula, as the use of the shadow made it difficult to see the Measure formula text you wrote.
