Summer School Data Analysis and Visualization in Power BI

Students will learn about chosen possibilities of data processing, data quality, data processing in table processor, pivot table as a basic tool, data sources, types of data, facts, dimensions. Some data stories will be used for presentation of basic functions of Power BI tool. Students will run special datasets, will learn how to manage data in Power Query Editor in M language, how to use DAX language. how to create a functional data model and how to use possibilities of visualisation data in power BI, how to share dashboards in Power BI service or in MS Fabric. By completing this BIP the student will acquire the basic knowledge and skills to use the Power BI tool, be able to identify data sources, understand the ETL/ELT process, create a data model, and design a BI solution using tool in a specific case.
