Power BI for Beginners: DAX, Data Modeling & Data Visualization

Power BI for Beginners is your step-by-step introduction to turning raw data into interactive, easy-to-read reports using Power BI. Designed for students, professionals, and anyone new to data, this class helps you gain real-world experience with cleaning, modeling, and visualizing information.

You’ll start by learning how to import and clean up your data using Power Query, removing duplicates, fixing missing values, and merging data from different sources. You’ll also explore tools like unpivoting columns and creating custom or conditional columns to prepare your data for analysis.

Next, you’ll connect multiple tables by building data models and using relationships. You’ll also work with DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) to calculate values using functions like SUMX and CALCULATE. For quick results, you’ll try out Quick Measures to simplify common calculations.

After shaping your data, you’ll learn how to build eye-catching visuals, such as clustered columns, matrix tables, and gauges. Filters and slicers will help you focus on your reports and tell a clear, engaging story to your audience. To wrap up, you’ll publish your reports to the Power BI Service so you can edit, share, and collaborate online.

This beginner-friendly guide is perfect if you’re ready to turn data into smart decisions with easy-to-use tools and visuals.
