According to Microsoft, Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn your unrelated sources of data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights. Your data might be an Excel spreadsheet, or a collection of cloud-based and on-premises hybrid data warehouses. Power BI lets you easily connect to your data sources, visualize and discover what’s important, and share that with anyone or everyone you want. It is made up of three elements – a Windows desktop application called Power BI Desktop, an online software as a service (SaaS) service called the Power BI service and Power BI Mobile apps for Windows, iOS, and Android devices – all designed to let you create, share, and consume business insights in the way that serves you and your role most effectively.

If you would like to become a Power BI master then this course will give you all the knowledge and skills you need!
