COURSE OBJECTIVE:
By actively participating in this course, you will learn how to: – Calculate and visualise percentages relative to the total. – Smooth data fluctuations, identify trends, and make informed decisions by calculating moving averages. – Proficiently track cumulative data progression over time. – Unlock the potential of time-based analysis with dedicated time intelligence functions. – Use static grouping based on predefined criteria to segment and interpret information. – Use parameter tables to introduce flexibility and dynamic behaviour into your Power BI models.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course is designed for intermediate to advanced Power BI users who are looking to use DAX to create new information from their existing data.
COURSE PREREQUISITES:
As this is an intermediate course, participants should have a fundamental understanding of Power BI, including the ability to navigate the Power BI interface, load data, and create basic visualisations. A basic understanding of data modelling concepts, including relationships between tables is also required.If you are new to Power BI, we recommend first attending our Power BI Fundamentals training course to gain the required skills.Participants should also be familiar with the basics of Data Analysis Expressions (DAX), as the course will delve into advanced DAX functions for calculations and analysis.Software Requirements for Virtual ClassroomIf you are attending our Virtual Classroom training, you will need a laptop or PC with a working microphone and two screens. A webcam is also recommended for the best experience! You will also need to have both Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service (part of Microsoft 365 Apps), available on your device.Power BI Service is what Microsoft call the version of Power BI found in their M365 subscription list of apps. It won't be there as a default and is something your Microsoft 365 administrator would have to enable. It is free of charge and literally just a tick box. They will need access to this as this is where reports are published to and the only place where Dashboards can be created. Plus, all of the sharing and collaboration options are to be found here.We strongly recommend that delegates also check that their PC meets the Minimum Requirements as outlined on the Microsoft Website and ensure that they are running the latest version of the software so that they can successfully access all student files. This course is not suitable for MAC users.
