Power BI Report and Dashboard Design for Business Users

Many organisations own Power BI licences but still rely on cluttered spreadsheets that few people can read. This hands on course takes business users from raw data to clear, interactive dashboards that support real decisions. Working with realistic South African business datasets, delegates build reports step by step and learn the design habits that make dashboards trusted and used.

What you will be able to do

  • Connect Power BI to common data sources and shape data for reporting.
  • Build calculated measures to answer the questions the business actually asks.
  • Design visuals that communicate clearly without overwhelming the reader.
  • Create interactive dashboards with filters, drill down and navigation.
  • Apply layout and colour principles that make reports easy to read.
  • Publish and share dashboards while managing access appropriately.
