Who this course is for:
- This reporting course is meant for anyone who has no prior experience of Power BI. It’s also for you if you have used it, but never designed a report.
- It’s great if you have created analyses in other reporting tools, such as Microsoft Access, WebI, SSRS, Tableau or Yellowfin, but it not essential. If you have, then it will be another string to your bow.
- It would also be good if you had prior experience in using Excel formulas, but again, that is not essential.
- No prior experience in reporting tools or creating formulas is required.
- This course is probably not for you if you always know how to use Power BI and know how to create reports, although we will be looking at some more advanced topics, including the M and DAX languages.
- This course may not be for you if you have a Mac, as Power BI is not natively installable onto Macs.
