In this workshop, participants will gain a foundational understanding on how to use Power BI through a combination of slides and interactive demos. We'll begin with a product overview of Power BI Desktop to review all the components and features of Power BI. After we'll discuss what makes Power BI a compelling data visualization and business intelligence software and introduce key concepts such as data visualization best practices, dashboards, and data models.
For the hands-on demo, we will be using simulated travel and expense data alongside Power BI Desktop. This requires a software installation. At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to create interactive dashboards to answer key business questions.
Prerequisites:
- Download Power BI Desktop and install (must use a Windows computer)
- A Gmail / email account where Edbert can send participants a CSV file to use in the workshop
