Power BI for Data Visualization

Data is most useful when people can understand it and act on it. Power BI for Data Visualization is a practical, beginner-level course that helps you turn raw data into clear reports and interactive dashboards. You’ll learn to clean and analyse data in Microsoft Power BI, write DAX calculations and present insights drawn from real-world datasets.

Who it’s for

This course is for people who want to use data more confidently at work, whether they’re new to Power BI or have only explored it briefly. You don’t need prior Power BI experience. It may be a good fit if you:

• Work with spreadsheets and want a clearer way to explore and share data.
• Need to explain patterns, changes or results to colleagues.
• Want a practical introduction to data visualisation and business reporting.

What you’ll do

You’ll start with the basics of Power BI and build towards presenting findings in a dashboard. Using real-world datasets, you’ll practise how to:

• Bring data into Power BI and prepare it for analysis.
• Clean and organise data so your reports are easier to work with.
• Create visualisations that make comparisons and trends easier to see.
• Build interactive dashboards that let people explore the results.
• Write DAX calculations to answer questions about your data.
• Present business insights clearly, with the evidence behind them.

The focus is on using Power BI, not just learning where its features are. By the end of the course, you’ll have worked through the steps from a dataset to a visual report you can explain to others.
