This course comes in four parts:

Part 1 - Creating Visualizations (also known as Visualize and Analyze the Data)

We'll download and install for free Power BI Desktop. We'll start by creating our first visualizations (visuals) and investigate the Power BI interface.

We'll look at the various visualization's available and go through their common properties. We'll create maps, hierarchies, KPIs, gauges, and all sorts of chart types.

Part 2 - Get and Transform Data (also known as Prepare the Data)

We see how data can be transformed, saving you time in analyzing the data. We'll look at sorting and filtering, split columns, and other transform activities. We'll merge, append and combine queries together. We'll Pivot and Unpivot, and transform text, numbers, dates and times, and create custom columns using the M language.

Part 3 - Refining the model (also known as Model the Data)

We'll see how relationships can be made through multiple tables and refine the data with custom columns and measures using the DAX language.

Part 4 - Power BI Service

We'll then publish our visualizations onto the Power BI Service (which you can sign up for free), and then from your reports create dashboards. With the Power BI Pro (for which you can get a free trial), you can also create workspaces and apps.
