Data is only useful if you can turn it into insight.
Join us for this half-day, hands-on online session that will guide you through using Microsoft Power BI within Microsoft 365 to transform raw data into interactive, meaningful reports.
Working step by step, you will learn how to connect to data sources, clean and transform data using Power Query, build relationships between datasets, and create powerful visualisations that tell a clear story.
We will also introduce DAX for calculated columns and measures, explore publishing to the Power BI service, and cover collaboration, sharing, and row-level security.
This is not a passive webinar: attendees are encouraged to follow along and build their own report during the session.
To take part fully you will need:
- A Windows machine with Power BI Desktop installed (not supported on Mac)
- A Microsoft 365 Business Basic subscription or higher for the cloud publishing elements
By the end of the session, you will understand the full Power BI workflow, from data connection to publishing, and be equipped to build secure, interactive dashboards for your organisation.
