Vince Baglole

"Really enjoyed the course, it had so so many examples that are going to be really easy to refer back to. I enjoyed breaking things down to the understanding of why something works, thanks!"
Holly Fry

"Instructor was very informed and super helpful."
Katherine Mercer
MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes)
"The tutor I had was the most enthusiastic, humorous and intelligent teacher I could have ever asked for. He went above and beyond to make sure I understood the course content and as a result I never felt lost or unsure about anything complex. Will highly recommend to anyone else I come across who needs this."
Alex Morris

"Fantastic course, well delivered and very engaging!"

The main Microsoft Power BI tools are as follows:
Application | Notes |
---|---|
Power BI Desktop | You can use Power BI Desktop to create visual, interactive reports which you can then publish to your organisation's website (or to a public site). You can also use Power BI to create printable paginated reports. |
Power Query | This is included within Power BI, and allows you to transform data as you're loading it. |
Power BI Service | This allows you to view reports that you've published online, to create shared workspaces and apps and to pin tiles to dashboards. |
Power BI Mobile | Use this part of Power BI Desktop to create reports to be viewed on mobile devices. |
We run the following introductory courses in the Microsoft Power BI tools:
