Description

You'll take the role of a business analyst and create factful, truthful, engaging, and visually appealing reports with meaningful and actionable insights, and analyze and present data in a way that promotes actionable insights, strong decisions, and clear data-driven recommendations. Most courses focus on software, a programming language, with little attention to how to use visual clues and analyze and present data in a way that provides insights that can be followed up. This no-nonsense, hands-on course will help you create well-designed, truthful, insightful, and actionable reports using Power BI, an industry-standard data analysis tool. You will process and clean realistic data, extract meaning from it, and communicate it using charts and visualizations. You'll do all this by using Power BI and its built-in DAX language. By the end of the course, you will be able to use Power BI effectively as a business analytics tool to load, pre-process, and model data and create meaningful and actionable reports and visualizations. The code bundle for this video course is available at - https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Getting-Actionable-Insights-from-Power-BI
