$699 for ExcelGoodies' 2-week live, instructor-led Power BI course — which includes 20 hours of training, 14 hands-on projects, Power Query and DAX modules, and a Power BI Associate Certificate. Across the industry, Power BI training typically ranges from $200 for self-paced video courses to $2,000+ for in-person bootcamps. The key difference is format: self-paced courses are cheaper but lack live interaction, while instructor-led programs like ours offer real-time Q&A, personalized troubleshooting, and hands-on project reviews. Corporate teams of 10+ are eligible for additional group discounts.

Our AI sessions (Sessions 9–10) also help you accelerate your learning curve post-course, since tools like Claude can help you troubleshoot issues and explain concepts as you practice on your own.

Yes — Power BI is consistently ranked the #1 business intelligence platform by Gartner, and trained Power BI professionals in the US earn between $75,000 and $120,000 depending on role and experience. The return on investment is significant: a $699 training course can lead to higher-paying roles like BI Analyst, Data Analyst, or Power BI Developer, where Power BI skills are listed as a top requirement. Beyond salary, professionals who know Power BI save their teams 5–10 hours per week by automating manual Excel-based reporting. Over 35,000 professionals have trained with ExcelGoodies, and many report career transitions into data-focused roles within months of completing the course.

Additionally, our course now includes dedicated sessions on AI tools (Copilot and Claude AI), giving you skills that most Power BI professionals don’t yet have — a meaningful differentiator on your resume and in job interviews.

The best Power BI course depends on your learning style, but for professionals who want live, expert-led training with hands-on projects, ExcelGoodies is a top choice — trusted by 35,000+ professionals and 300+ companies including government entities like the IRS and The World Bank. What sets it apart: the course is taught by Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs) with 14+ years of industry experience, covers Power BI, DAX, Power Query, and Power Pivot in just 2 weeks, includes 14 real-world dashboard projects, and includes 2 dedicated AI sessions covering Microsoft Copilot and Claude AI — something most competing courses don’t offer.

Yes, absolutely — Power BI is designed as a no-code/low-code tool, and no programming background is needed to start. ExcelGoodies' course begins from the fundamentals and is specifically built for non-technical professionals in finance, operations, HR, marketing, and management. You will learn DAX formulas (which are similar to Excel formulas, not traditional coding) and Power Query transformations (which use a drag-and-drop interface). The only prerequisite is basic familiarity with Excel — if you can write a VLOOKUP or create a PivotTable, you have everything you need to succeed in this course.

For most business professionals, Power BI is the better choice — it integrates natively with Excel, Microsoft 365, and Azure, costs significantly less (Power BI Pro is $10/user/month vs Tableau Creator at $75/user/month), and is the #1 ranked BI platform in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for the fourteenth consecutive year. Tableau is strong in advanced data visualization and is preferred in some data science and research environments, but Power BI dominates in enterprise adoption — over 97% of Fortune 500 companies use Microsoft tools. If your organization already uses Excel, SharePoint, or Teams, learning Power BI gives you immediate practical value because it connects seamlessly to your existing data. ExcelGoodies' Power BI training covers all the skills needed to become proficient, regardless of whether you've used Tableau before.

Yes. Sessions 9 and 10 are dedicated to AI-powered BI. You’ll learn Microsoft Copilot for natural language report building inside Power BI, plus Claude AI for data analysis, DAX generation, and executive reporting outside Power BI. But here’s what makes our approach different: we teach AI after you’ve built the foundational skills (Sessions 1–8). This way, when AI gives you an output, you’ll know whether it’s correct, how to fix it if it’s not, and when it’s better to do the work yourself.

Absolutely — and this is the most important question to get right. AI tools like Copilot can generate DAX formulas from plain English, but they make mistakes. They get evaluation contexts wrong. They misinterpret relationships. They produce formulas that look correct but return wrong numbers. If you don’t understand DAX yourself, you’ll accept wrong answers without realizing it. Our course teaches you DAX thoroughly (Sessions 5–7) so that when you use AI to speed up DAX writing (Session 9–10), you have the expertise to validate, refine, and trust the output. AI makes fast work faster — but only if you know what “correct” looks like.

Claude AI (by Anthropic) is a general-purpose AI assistant that excels at data analysis, code generation, and turning complex data into plain-English narratives. We include it because Copilot only works inside Power BI — but real-world BI work involves tasks outside Power BI too: cleaning messy source data, writing SQL queries, debugging formulas, interpreting statistical results, and preparing executive summaries. Claude handles all of that. Together, Copilot (inside Power BI) and Claude (outside Power BI) give you a complete AI-augmented workflow. Session 10 teaches you when to use which tool — and when to rely on your own expertise instead.

No. We demonstrate Copilot features live during Session 9. For hands-on practice with Copilot in your own Power BI environment, you’d need a Fabric capacity (F64+) or Premium Per User license, but this is not required for the course. Claude AI is accessible via a free tier, so you can follow along with Session 10 on your own device.
