Course Description
For decades, Excel has been the primary reporting tool of choice for businesses to develop data analytics solutions. While those skills are still important, learning Power BI opens you up to a more interactive and visually appealing experience by offering more powerful analytics and reporting features.
In this session, Jonathon Silva will teach you about some of the most advanced capabilities available in Excel, and how to bridge those skills into a new world within Microsoft Power BI where manual, complex, and arduous reports are a thing of the past. You’ll also learn how Excel and Power BI best work together and understand the migration path to take your existing Excel work into Power BI.
