Data Visualization & Business Intelligence

About this course

Data Visualization & Business Intelligence helps you turn raw data into clear, actionable stories. Across 13 courses you’ll build core visual‑storytelling skills using Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint and Power BI. You’ll start by mastering chart selection and design—learning to match comparison, composition, distribution and relationship data with the right chart type—and refine your visuals by applying design principles that remove clutter and highlight key insights. You’ll then create layered waterfall charts and dynamic, linked dashboards in Excel, using conditional formatting and PivotTables to analyze trends and outliers. Next, you’ll explore business storytelling in PowerPoint by combining SmartArt, multimedia and animations to captivate audiences. The program’s Power BI courses teach you to connect, clean and model data, build interactive dashboards using DAX and AI‑powered tools like Copilot and ChatGPT, implement row‑level security, and publish reports for collaboration. Guided projects give you hands‑on practice transforming messy data, merging datasets, and modeling financial data in star schemas. By the end of the program you’ll confidently craft data stories that reveal trends, correlations and outliers, using visualizations to help decision‑makers gain insights quickly.
