Training process

Training needs analysis

If you have specific requirements regarding the training programme, we will carry out a training needs analysis for you. This will guide us on which aspects of the programme should receive greater emphasis, so that the training programme meets your specific needs.

What will you gain?

icon

Faster work in Query Editor - You will clean up and transform data more efficiently in Query Editor, so you can prepare analysis-ready datasets on your own and reduce errors before the data even reaches the report.

icon

Combining multiple data sources - You will learn how to import data from Excel files, CSV files, and databases, then bring it into one consistent model, making it easier to build reports from different information sources.

icon

Confident use of analytical functions - You will practice aggregation, lookup, counting, and time functions, so you can calculate key metrics faster, compare results, and answer specific business questions with your analyses.

icon

Better report model design - You will understand how to build a report model with quick measures and key properties, helping you create reports that are clearer, more consistent, and easier to expand later on.

icon

Smarter tables and filters - You will learn when to use parameter tables and calculated tables, and how to apply filters effectively, so you can control report logic and tailor analyses to different audiences.

icon

Clear data hierarchies - You will learn how to create and adjust hierarchies in Power BI, making your data presentation more structured and helping users move smoothly from summary views to detailed insights.

icon

Practical DAX conditions - You will master IF and SWITCH logic as well as filter behavior in DAX, allowing you to build more flexible calculations and align report results with specific business rules.

icon

Custom measures and calculated columns - You will learn how to create calculated columns and measures in DAX, so you can build custom indicators that go beyond what standard Power BI settings can deliver on their own.

What are the prerequisites for participating in the training?

icon

Power BI basics - You should know the basic Power BI interface and be able to navigate report, data, and model views, so you can work comfortably with the more advanced features in the course.

icon

Working with tabular data - You should be comfortable working with tables, understand columns, rows, and data types, and read simple summaries, because the training builds directly on those skills.

icon

Basic data analysis concepts - You should understand core analytical concepts such as filtering, grouping, summing, and counting, so you can build measures more easily and interpret report results correctly.

icon

Excel or similar tool experience - You should have experience working with Excel or a similar data analysis tool, because the training assumes you already understand tables, formulas, and common data sources.
