Good Flow, Good coverage of items needed. However, starting to get dated as the software has changed some (the security around the API's and Fabric software as an example). Also a couple of items I were not really covered until the final practical example. But I did learn a lot.

This is a really fantastic course. Very happy I purchased it. I used Power BI a little bit in my work and wanted to learn more about it. I had no idea this tool has this much horsepower for working with tata. It is certainly a game changer. The instructor has done a great job breaking out the file. I had ran into an issue with my practice file where I made some bad changes and since there is different versions each step of the way I was able to go back to a previous course model without having to restart near the beginning.

This is a comprehensive course that covers all aspects of Power BI and even goes beyond its scope, which is fantastic because it allows you to get acquainted with additional services and even start coding in Python! The course also highlights potential mistakes and challenges you might encounter along the way and offers solutions on how to overcome them. During my time taking the course, some features in Azure had changed, such as the names of certain sections, so I had to Google to find the correct ones. However, this turned out to be a valuable learning experience as well :). Thank you so much for this amazing course!

1 star less due to the weird mix-up of old and new PBI versions content in the same course while both are necessary to obtain the certificate. Personally I can say that this course has tons of knowledge, but I've already seen the possibilities of this app at work and had a glimpse of how it could be used so the order in which things were presented did not bother me - not sure if a total novice would feel the same way though
By Carlos Vazquez on 9/14/2023
A good course that combines both theoretical and practical concepts. As everything is focused on a single dashboard, these elements are gradually created. The instructor has a broad knowledge of PowerBi and explains it in a simple way to understand. You may need to have a basic knowledge of tables, data, and relationships, as this is not explained in detail, but if you do, you are good to go. As for improvements, the screen is too wide, especially in DAX formulas, so it is recommended to zoom in during these video moments to facilitate reading what is being done. Also, the auto-generated subtitles have many spelling errors (although this is not the instructor's fault).
By Emerson Fremming on 7/13/2023
The majority, if not all, of the lessons, appear to be presented in a disorganized manner, rendering it quite challenging to effectively follow along with the examples. The instructor tends to breeze through new concepts without delving into the crucial details, all the while introducing additional concepts. If you happen to possess a solid grasp of Power BI and are seeking supplementary video material, there's a likelihood of deriving value from this resource. However, for those who are new to the subject, it might be best to explore alternative options before purchasing this course.

The course was wonderful! Thanks Dimitar, for this insightful tutorial. My only comments are related to audio volume (too low specially in 2020 course version), video quality & of course the promise to offer 60 days Free Microsoft Power Service Access. Power BI desktop interface has changed a lot since your 2020 version & hence this aspect needs immediate attention
By Kavana on 12/3/2022
I am quite comfortable with the course proceedings, and able to grasp the course content. Only thing with catching the accent at times finding slight difficult. The is put the sub titles on and its good. There are a lot of similarities as well as differences between Power BI and Tableau. The content is vast, feel like needs multiple readings and more practice. Otherwise, I am enjoying this course as well like the other data science courses from 365 Careers.
By Sameer Kalekar on 6/8/2022
I was looking for a new start in my career so I found this tool called Power BI which was interesting and later found this course on Udemy. I found it more interesting while learning as each every part was explained in detail which was easy to learn. Thank you so much for making me solve my decision through this course and giving me good knowledge.
By Tinashe Mjanja on 12/1/2019
The course strikes a balance between new Power BI users and experienced ones. Course projects are real and rigorous, thereby giving enough revision of content covered throughout the course. Modeling part of the course is a bit intimidating to starters with less programming experience. However, the concepts are well explained.
