Description

* This course is #9 in the Microsoft PowerBI series of webinars. Click button in Program Content section below to see suggested viewing order. *

What good is data analysis if you can't share it? This course will focus on using Microsoft's cloud-based sharing/publishing platform. We will discuss other means to share/publish your analysis but this class is primarily focused on PowerBI.com. We will spend time teaching the interface, which is similar to PowerBI Desktop, but also has specific differences that we will discuss.

This class can be taken with no Excel or PowerBI Desktop knowledge, but some concepts will be a repeat from those classes and will serve as a knowledge reinforcement for experienced users.

Many data analysts may create models in Power Pivot or Power BI Desktop, so we will spend time to learn how to share that data with PowerBI.com. This will ensure that everyone is looking at the same data, no matter the toolset. PowerBI.com adds the ability to create and share dashboards, so we will demonstrate how to create visualizations that can be turned into dashboards that allow users to customize their PowerBI.com with dashboards that are meaningful to them.

This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions either during or after the event.
