About this Course


If you’ve heard the expression “a picture is worth a thousand words,” then you know how effectively an image can tell a story. As organizations become increasingly more sophisticated in gathering ever-growing amounts of data on all aspects of their business, they need professionals who can wrangle that data into easily digestible visualizations. 

In this foundational-level course, we’ll focus on the core building blocks of Microsoft Power BI.

You’ll apply fundamental data visualization theories to create insightful reports and data stories for nontechnical audiences. You’ll learn how to select the best report design, chart or layout for various business scenarios. And you’ll explore interactive reporting techniques and other features in Power BI that’ll set you up for success in a variety of positions.
