Power BI: Build Interactive Dashboards

Course description

Power BI – Building Dashboards is a practical course designed to help learners transition from creating reports in Power BI Desktop to building interactive dashboards in the Power BI Service. Dashboards are essential for delivering high-level insights and enabling collaboration across teams, and this course walks learners through the complete process of publishing and assembling dashboards. Learners begin by understanding the distinction between reports and dashboards, including where and how each is created. The course introduces the Power BI Service, explaining the role of workspaces as containers and security contexts for reports, datasets (semantic models), and dashboards. Participants will learn how to publish reports from Power BI Desktop to the Service and how to navigate the browser-based interface. The course guides learners through the process of pinning visuals from reports to dashboards, organizing content, and managing dashboard tiles. The course also covers the evolution of Power BI functionality in Excel, helping learners understand deprecated features and current best practices. Learners will also explore how dashboards update dynamically when underlying data changes, and how to share dashboards with others based on workspace permissions. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to build and manage dashboards that combine visuals from multiple reports, support real-time updates, and enable secure sharing. This course is ideal for Power BI users who want to deliver insights through interactive, cloud-based dashboards.
