Power BI Bootcamp NYC or Live Online | Basic to Advanced Power BI Training

Many people think Power BI is for advanced developers. In truth, Power BI was created by combining the best features from Microsoft Excel, Access, SQL and other related technologies. Moreover, Power BI fills in the capability gaps that exist across these technologies, streamlining the process from data to insights. In this session, we’ll transition from what you know about these technologies and show you how Power BI solves the same problems more efficiently. To give you a true understanding of what Power BI can do, we’ll use Power Query to query data, Power BI’s data model to connect datasets, and Power BI’s report view to create compelling dashboards and data visualizations.

Using case studies that bring together multiple capabilities at once, expert Jordan Goldmeier shows you how to easily create measures to find SUM, COUNT, MAX, and more with a click of a button; make the best use of the mysterious filter context; and use Power BI’s DAX language to power your data visualizations. You’ll also get tips on which Power BI experts to follow to gain the knowledge that will transform you into an expert at your workplace.

See What Students Are Saying About Live Online

“Overall experience on Zoom was maybe even better than in IRL classroom because the instruction takes place right on your own screen, with less distraction. Great overall experience.”
“Given the fact that we had to do this entire class remotely due to Covid-19, I didn’t have very high expectations it would run so smoothly. However, I don’t think it could’ve gone any better. Not only do I feel very comfortable with the program now, but I’m actually excited to use it!”
“This was the first online class I’ve taken with ND and it was a great experience. Looking forward to the other classes I’ve signed up for!”
