Power BI Masterclass from Scratch in 90 minutes [2026] (Udemy.com)

Learn how to use Microsoft Power BI Desktop, Power BI Services, Power BI Mobile in 90 Minutes

Created by: Learn Anywhere

Last updated December 2025

Our take

Based on the ratings of 36,700 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in December 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a 93-minute crash course in Power BI, split into 38 lectures across seven sections. Most of the time, about 56 minutes, goes to cleaning, joining and visualizing data in Power BI Desktop. A shorter block covers the online service, with mobile touched on too. It is aimed at complete beginners, and nothing is required beyond a computer. The course was last updated in December 2025. About 143,000 people have enrolled.

Reviewers like the speed. Several call it short and clear, and one says it taught more than a live Power BI class run by a weaker teacher. Learn Anywhere, the group behind it, gets credit for showing examples of each feature. The complaints are consistent, though. Two reviewers say the narration is fast, and one notes the volume jumps between slides. A few found the accent hard to follow, and captions helped. Others wanted more examples of the complex functions and a bit more explanation.

Of about 36,700 ratings, roughly 18,900 are five stars and 13,700 are four stars, while fewer than 600 are one or two stars. That is a solid result for a course this short. There are no quizzes or coding exercises, only a tiny exercise section, so real skill comes from pausing and repeating each step in Power BI Desktop, as one reviewer did. Treat it as a quick orientation or refresher. Anyone planning to build reports at work will want a longer follow-up course.

Best forPeople who want a fast first pass at Power BI Desktop and the online service, with no prior data tools.
Skip it ifYou want in-depth coverage of complex functions or full projects, or you struggle with fast, accented narration.

Pros

  • Covers Desktop, the online service and mobile in about 93 minutes
  • Reviewers call it short and crisp, with each feature shown by example
  • No prerequisites, and a resources tab plus five articles back up the videos
  • Updated December 2025, with captions in 28 languages for hard-to-follow audio

Cons

  • Narration is fast and volume shifts between slides, per some reviewers
  • Accent and translations were hard to follow for some students
  • Thin on depth: no quizzes, and reviewers wanted more examples of complex functions
Great crash course, and introduced me to lots of fundamental PowerBI concepts

Listed as All Levels, but it really suits true beginners or anyone refreshing basic Power BI skills.

The instructor was very through and shared a great deal of information on all the functionality of the Power BI program while showing examples. I gained more knowledge off this training than I did sitting in a Power BI class trying to follow along with a less informative instructor.

By Uzair Ahmed on 9/12/2026

Well while searching forPowerBi i got lots of suggestions but what this course attract me is 90 minutes , mean in short time i will skill up my self and Yes i got too much from this course ,Highly appreciate the creator

By Kelly Merritt on 9/2/2026

The course covers everything I would want to know, but I would have liked to have a few more examples of some of the more complex functions. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a crash course to get started using Power BI right away.

By Bryant F Miller on 8/14/2026

Really good course for me as I have not had any experience with Power BI. It was a bit fast at times, so I had to pause a few parts to work my way through it. Overall, I would recommend to someone just starting in Power BI.

By Tom Savino on 8/8/2026

Good course for review of Power Bi , as a review course I would give it 5 stars. But as a Power BI course to learn from scratch I would give it solid 4 stars .

By Huzaifa Waseem on 8/2/2026

Powr BI Masterclass from scratch course was so much insightful and i really enjoyed the course pace and information and during my work it helped me alot i was also making reports for my work it helped me alot in that

By Manjunath R on 7/29/2026

1. Explaining different types of Charts in the beginning of the course will help than later 2. Showing sample Dashboard at the beginning & building the course on creating the reports in that sample Dashboard would have helped more in understanding

By Thomas Wagener on 7/24/2026

Nice introduction to the features of PowerBI. Presentation is clear and good to understand. The presentation is very fast. I needed to slow down at times to 0.75 to be able to follow. The sound for the mobile lesson should be improved.

By Darcie Hughes on 6/24/2026

It was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a quick, informative class on how to use Power Bi, and this was it. The instructor wasn't too hard to understand and the subtitles were accurate. Very happy with this class.

By David Sosa Garcia on 6/2/2026

An incredible masterclass—very smooth and dynamic, with great examples. It’s simple, straight to the point, and avoids unnecessary theory. The explanations are clear, easy to follow, and beginner-friendly. Definitely the best introductory course to Power BI
