Microsoft Power BI: Power BI series
This nine-part self-study online series will help you develop the skills necessary to use Microsoft Power BI tools, which will allow you to perform enhanced data analysis.
In 2010, Microsoft released PowerPivot, a new data analysis tool that removed the weaknesses of Excel PivotTables. PowerPivot took Excel from a low-end data analytics tool to one of the most sophisticated and comprehensive tools used. Since 2010, Microsoft has continued its development of end-user data analysis tools. This entire suite of products is called Power BI. These courses are presented using Excel 2019/Office 365, but most concepts covered apply to all versions of Excel.
