About this course

This specialization introduces learners to the core tools and techniques used by data analysts to collect, analyze, and visualize data. Using Microsoft technologies such as SQL Server, Excel, and Power BI, learners will build practical skills for working with structured data and generating actionable insights. The program begins with SQL fundamentals, where learners will understand relational databases and write queries to retrieve and filter data. Learners will then build spreadsheet-based analytical skills using Excel for data organization, analysis, and reporting. Finally, the program introduces Power BI to create interactive dashboards and visualizations that communicate insights effectively. Throughout the specialization, learners will work with real-world datasets and hands-on exercises that reinforce analytical thinking and problem-solving. By the end of the program, learners will be able to transform raw data into meaningful visual reports and dashboards that support data-driven decision making.
