Course Content - Overview

Learn the entire suite of tools and technologies involved in building a complete BI solution.

Quick brush-up with Excel

Excel is to BI what wireframing is to application development. Brush up your Excel skills with 60+ formulas, pivots, charts & dashboards to quickly build a POC with small data before investing your time in building complex BI reports with big datasets.

Why should I learn Excel?

Visualization with Power BI

Getting started with Power BI is simple. Then, once you want to leverage its full potential, you need a different set of skills. Learn how to develop these skills, unlock more insights through better data analysis and visualization with this section.

Why should I learn Power BI?

Advanced Calculation with DAX

Add analytical power to your Power BI model that is not available in the data as-is, using DAX. The goal of this section is to teach you basic to advance features of DAX, providing the knowledge to write formulas for common and advanced business scenarios.

Why should I learn DAX?

M-Programming with Power Query

During this section, you'll learn how to perform advanced data transformations not available in the Query Editor. We will discuss how to leverage the embedded PowerBI programming language (M) to achieve this.

Why Should I learn M-Programming?

Model-building with Power Pivot

Explore the most powerful tool to build data models, forecast estimates, perform what-if-analysis scenario etc. If you are yet to have the Power BI license, you would still be able to create powerful & blended reports and share it internally using Power Pivot.

Why should I learn Power Pivot?

ETL with SSIS

Extract-Transform-Load. Extract Data from multiple data sources, transform it with SSIS inbuilt transformation options or use M-Programs with SSIS and, Load it to the Reporting Database or Data Warehouse for generating dynamic BI Reports.

Why should I know ETL with SSIS?

Data warehousing using MS-SQL

Data for Power BI can come from many sources, but often the data is hosted in SQL Server. This section will teach you how to write accurate, effective, and robust T-SQL code- the right way and also understand the logic behind the same.

Why should I learn MS-SQL?

Ad-hoc Automations using VBA

When company environment doesn't support Power Apps, it is tools like VBA which comes to rescue. This section will explore the power of VBA and help you automate processes or tasks which otherwise is not possible using Power BI tools.

Why should I learn VBA?

Architect Power BI Solution

This section will help you put together Excel, VBA, Power BI, DAX, Power Query and SQL to architect the best BI solution. You'll also learn to publish, securely share reports including row level permissions along with BI administrative tasks like setting up data gateways etc.

Why should I learn to Architect a solution?

This class was extremely helpful in my knowledge and growth in these database, analysis and reporting tools. I really enjoyed the hands-on approach and got lots of “goodies” out of all the classes. Your approach, repetitiveness and patience is much appreciated and sincerely helped me learn how to accomplish these important tasks. Doing these activities again and again embedded these processes into my routines while I began strategizing how to best utilize these tools in my company’s reporting and analyses. I’d be happy to consider additional classes that you offer on related, important topics to continue enhancing my skills. Thank you very much for your teaching and training methods. I am also very grateful that you provided the daily sample dashboards, instruction steps and how-to descriptions.

This Power BI course was an exceptional training experience. It was very fast paced -- necessary as it covered Power Pivots, Power Query, DAX, Power BI, and SQL. Sami ran the training smoothly, staying after to help individuals with questions. We also are able to schedule up to two 30-minute sessions after the end of the course for guidance on projects. Highly recommend!

This course was excellent. Sami had a systematic approach to the course curriculum which I feel is key to most if not all learning experiences. He was very knowledgeable and very quick with troubleshooting and helping support when we had any challenges with our work. I am definitely going to take more courses from Excelgoodies. If you are an IT professional or require Data Analytics for your job, this is a great course and I highly recommend it. I think my only critique is that I would have like to have more time devoted to the database side of the class, but that is just a personal preference.
