Description: This hands-on workshop is ideal for one-person and small offices with team members who want to learn Microsoft Power BI and create their first dashboard. Participants will be trained to import data from multiple sources, transform, and clean imported data, and create visualizations of that data. These visualizations can be organized into dashboards, uploaded to a cloud, and shared with organizational members. Participants can follow along on their laptops while instructors demonstrate step-by-step instructions using mock data. Installation of Microsoft Excel and Power BI Desktop prior to the workshop is recommended.
