Business Intelligence is a hot topic today: In an information driven society, analyzing and reporting upon the data that lives within an enterprise is crucial. In this course, we focus on the reporting part of PowerBI, a set of add-ins to Microsoft Office Excel 2010 or later.
We focus on how business users can create reports in Microsoft Office Excel, using the native PivotTable functionality in Excel, as well as using the PowerView and PowerMap reporting functionality. We will also focus on how SharePoint or Office365 can be used as a delivery platform for these reports, making it possible to share them within a wider audience. The course contains many exercises, such that students will have a lot of hands-on experience with these tools.
This course is intended for people who frequently use Excel to analyze their data and want to become familiar with the PowerPivot, PowerView and PowerMap technologies to build appealing reports in Excel. Also people who want to share their Excel reports in a more centralized manner via SharePoint or Office365 will benifit from this course.
This course assumes students are familiar with the basic functionality of Excel 2010 or later. We also assume students are already familiar with PowerPivot in Excel, or are used to querying Analysis Services cubes from within Excel. For students who do not meet these prerequisites, we recommend attending the 5 day PowerBI course (UBIPB) instead of this shorter 3 day variant.
