About the Course

Are you using Excel to manage, analyze, and visualize your data? Would you like to do more? Perhaps you've considered Power BI as an alternative, but have been intimidated by the idea of working in an advanced environment. The fact is, many of the same tools and mechanisms exist across both these Microsoft products. This means Excel users are actually uniquely positioned to transition to data modeling and visualization in Power BI! Using methods that will feel familiar, you can learn to use Power BI to make data-driven business decisions using large volumes of data. We will help you to build fundamental Power BI knowledge and skills, including: • Importing data from Excel and other locations into Power BI. • Understanding the Power BI environment and its three Views. • Building beginner-to-moderate level skills for navigating the Power BI product. • Exploring influential relationships within datasets. • Designing Power BI visuals and reports. • Building effective dashboards for sharing, presenting, and collaborating with peers in Power BI Service. For this course you will need: • A basic understanding of data analysis processes in Excel. • At least a free Power BI licensed account, including: • The Power BI desktop application. • Power BI Online in Microsoft 365. Course duration is approximately three hours. Learning is divided into five modules, the fifth being a cumulative assessment. The curriculum design includes video lessons, interactive learning using short, how-to video tutorials, and practice opportunities using COMPLIMENTARY DATASETS. Intended audiences include business students, small business owners, administrative assistants, accountants, retail managers, estimators, project managers, business analysts, and anyone who is inclined to make data-driven business decisions.

This is the worst lecture ever. First of all, the voice is generated from a computer. There is no data downloadable to follow. It is just videos after videos.

I've completed one-third of the course, but I find the course structure confusing. For instance, the lesson on "How to create relationships" comes after "How to edit or remove relationships," which seems out of order. I was expecting a step-by-step guide since they provided an Excel material at the start of the course, but instead, the lessons present random charts or data sets without clear connections. The instruction voice is robotic so you will feel sleepy after a few videos. Not recommend for beginners who don't have any knowledge of BI.

I gave it a chance... a lot of chances really, after about 38% of progress I decided to unenroll. The AI (or computer) voice is horrible, the quality of the presentation itself as well. There are no materials to work with, or, to be fair, there are but they do not use them, so you cannot really follow what they're doing. I do not believe anyone needs an explanation that button "delete" deletes something. Some of the individual chapters do not make sense in the order they're made. The questions throughout the videos are basically word-by-word the same as what they say, sometimes about 5s before they say it so you cannot really answer them based on "newly gained knowledge". Do not recommend, at all.

It was a nice introduction to Power BI but nothing more than that. There were some glaring issues with the training. A good example would be when reviewing the relationships between data. A drop down list was being discussed. The presenter proceeded to list verbatim what was written on the drop down however gave no context or explanation as to what they meant, nor their typical uses. Then stated "choose the appropriate relationship". Well if you know nothing about them that's not helpful. There were several steps where this lack of clarity limited how much progress I was able to make in sections. Also the data that was available as a download was different than the data being used in the presentation which is usually a bad idea in a data program training. Finally my version of PowerBi for whatever reason was set up differently making it more challenging to follow. Overall I was not impressed and had hoped for more. This was my first experience and I plan to take another Coursera training soon with the hope that this course does not represent Coursera. However if the next course is taught in a similar way I would not continue using this service.

I'm sorry. This is terrible. It gives you a data set to work with and then doesn't show you how to work with the same data set. Impossible to follow along to know if you're doing it right. Super frustrating. Glad I never spent the $.

Useless. What a waste of time. No effort was put into creating the course. Somebody is just trying to make some extra money as a side hustle.

This course offers an excellent introduction to Power BI, especially for those familiar with Excel but looking to transition into more advanced data visualization and analysis. The step-by-step approach made it easy to follow along, and the practical examples helped reinforce key concepts. What I particularly enjoyed was the seamless integration between Excel and Power BI, which made importing, transforming, and visualizing data much more intuitive. The insights gained from using Power BI features like dashboards, reports, and data modeling opened up a whole new way of analyzing data compared to traditional Excel methods. Overall, the course strikes a great balance between beginner-friendly and thorough, making it perfect for those looking to enhance their data skills without feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommend!

This Course help me understand the basic how to use Power BI while already familiar with Excel, the course explain what the Power BI can do better (which is modeling, visualization, and report sharing) in certain places than Excel. If you want to learn how to visualize the data after you edit it in Excel, this is your next course to complete.

Having existing Power BI experience as a self-learner this basics course provided further insight into what's possible in Power BI desktop and Power BI service. A must course if doing data analysis in MS Excel still to take it into another level of data visualisation and storytelling.

The course provides over all a good understanding of feature. The short coming is only that for practice it does not allow to use personal email id. In my case, i am not working currently and do not have official email id. Due to it, I could not carry out the practice

There should be about DAX Functions. One thing I missed is the use of Quick and New measures. There should be a few examples related to this.
