Microsoft Power BI: Data Analysis Professional

About this course

Power BI was built to connect to a wide range of data sources, and it enables users to quickly create visualizations of connected data to gain insights, show trends, and create reports. Power BI's data connection capabilities and visualization features go far beyond those that can be found in spreadsheets, enabling users to create compelling and interactive worksheets, dashboards, and stories that bring data to life and turn data into thoughtful action. This Specialization is designed for professionals in a variety of job roles who are currently using desktop or web-based data management tools such as Microsoft® Excel® or SQL Server® reporting services to perform numerical or general data analysis. They are responsible for connecting to cloud-based data sources, as well as shaping and combining data for the purpose of analysis. They are also looking for alternative ways to analyze business data, visualize insights, and share those insights with peers across the enterprise. This includes capturing and reporting on data to peers, executives, and clients. This Specialization is also designed for professionals who want to pursue the Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst (Exam PL-300) certification.
