Transforming and refining your data

“

- It used to be that analysts who didn't know how to code were stuck in Excel. They used Excel for data analysis and built out charts and graphs to present their findings within Excel. Think about it, Excel is a useful tool, but it's very simple in terms of presenting data. That's why Microsoft built Power BI. Power BI is a leading business intelligence tool and that's what I'm going to teach you in this course. My name is John David Ariansen, and I run the How to Get an Analytics Job podcast. Over the years, I've interviewed over 100 analytics experts. I'm also the founder of Silvertone Analytics. And in my job, I help businesses better understand and make use of their data. And in this course, I want to share how you can use Power BI to take your analytic skillset to the next level. I'll share the fundamentals of Power BI and how to make the transition from Excel into an effective Power BI user. You'll learn how to connect to data, build models, then visualize the underlying data sources. By the end of this course, you'll be ready to dive deep into Power BI and lock insights on your very own data sources. So if you're ready, then let's go.
