Overview
Business
Intelligence (BI) is perhaps the hottest topic in most professional circles in
today’s business climate. Increasingly, organizations of all sizes seek to take
advantage of the data available to them to identify previously undiscovered
insights and gain competitive advantages thought to be out of reach just a few
short years ago. A growing array of tools – from Excel add-ins to dedicated
solutions such as Power BI – now allow you to leverage your existing knowledge
and skills to create powerful, interactive dashboards and analyses unthinkable
until recently.
This
program will teach you to implement “do-it-yourself business intelligence” using
various techniques and tools. First, you will learn to use advanced Excel data
query and summarization features to create Excel-based dashboards. You will then
learn how to leverage that knowledge to build even more powerful BI objects
using Microsoft’s Power BI tools. If gaining better insights into your data to
make better decisions interests you, then join us for a fast-paced look at how
you can take advantage of these fantastic tools.
Business
intelligence efforts continue to grow, and Microsoft’s Power BI platform is
central to many of these efforts. Participate in this session to learn more
about business intelligence and how to create dashboards using Power
BI.
