Microsoft Power BI Training Classes and Power BI Certification

Microsoft Power BI is a business analytics tool that turns data into powerful insights for making better business decisions. Power BI has interactive data visualizations with self-service business intelligence capabilities for powerful data analysis. Given its ease of use, one can create Power BI reports and data dashboards themselves without having to involve technical staff for assistance. You can create data analytics dashboards and generate advanced data reporting systems for sharing business intelligence insights throughout an organization with Power BI.

Power BI consists of a Windows desktop application called Power BI Desktop, an online SaaS (Software as a Service) called the Power BI service, and mobile Power BI apps available on phones and tablets. Power BI works well with various data sources, especially Microsoft Excel. Additionally, a data scientist can use DAX (Data Analysis Expressions formula language) to define custom calculations, and R language to replay a series of transformations. Advanced users can integrate Power BI and Azure Time Series Insights or Machine Learning to create business forecasts.
