Power BI is a powerful business analytics service from Microsoft. It provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence solutions. Power BI has an intuitive interface, enabling users at all skill levels to create their own reports and dashboards.

We start the intermediate course by discussing the data files to be used and some Power BI desktop settings that will set you up for success. The latter part of the course is an intensive exercise to give you practice creating reports and dashboards.

By ROHAN THOMAS JOSEPH on 12/5/2025

This was the course that I was looking for. It was very detailed oriented and along with the course modules, I was able to implemnet the same in my practise sessions. The insturctor was also teaching at a good pace.

By Diane Colucci on 10/10/2024

This was boring due to lack of project after each lesson. I could not even finish the course. Simply watching a video is not enough.

By Zohar batterywala on 7/17/2024

need to know how the iconset can be made to appear 10-means 1 for each 10% . Also using line in column chart can we display the % increase/decrease adjacent to line in the orientation of the line(means slanted as per line)

By Savitha on 6/21/2023

Now the power BI version is changed. We're finding little difficulty in searching Visuals and formatting

By Daniel Joubert on 6/5/2023

Overall a good course to take in learning about Power BI. The excel lessons at the end I found were out of place and should not have been part of this course topic.

By Josée Gingras on 4/9/2023

I like a lot: the course content going from 1 lesson to the automatically, the very good explanation on why to do things and the examples of the impact of the action we do in the quieries

By Neil Dowdall on 1/23/2023

Really good and easy to follow. I would have duplicated the page for the multipage and used the title instead of the shape for a title but it all still works.

By Sufiyan Shakir on 11/19/2022

Thank you, Deb for a wonderful walkthrough power bi course. I have learnt a lot and am confident enough to say I know a good amount of power bi to work on small projects. All because of this course!

By Daniel Eisert on 10/28/2022

It was good. Power BI updated recently, so some of the buttons and menus are a bit different.

By Justyna Adamczuk on 10/24/2022

It is fantastic. Lots of new information and the lecturer presents everything clearly. Thanks a lot!
