Course Summary

Data is massively important within any business. But getting the right data and visualising your action plan from what it tells you is easier said than done. Many business-related tools are overly complicated; however, Power BI has been noted as one of the most flexible and customisable platforms for data display, helping you picture the way forward. 
Microsoft Power BI is a business intelligence platform for advanced visualisation. It aids businesses by providing a tool for analytics visualisation. It is well known for helping non-tech-savvy individuals make data look and feel easy and dependable.

Power BI is ideal for envisioning your future, backing up your strategic action plans, and making rational decisions. 
To fully utilise Power BI and its benefits, you’ll need to understand how to connect it to your data sources, discover which data is most valuable, and create an easy visual format to manipulate the data and fully show your statistics.
