Course description
Power BI – Building Tables and Text Visuals is a practical course that has been designed to help learners master the creation and formatting of foundational visuals in Power BI Desktop. While charts and graphs often take center stage in dashboards, tables and text-based visuals play a critical role in presenting detailed data and highlighting key metrics. Learners begin by building tables and matrices, understanding how to organize data into rows and columns for clear, spreadsheet-style analysis. The course covers formatting techniques to improve readability, including font adjustments, column headers, and style presets. Participants will also explore matrices as the Power BI equivalent of pivot tables, learning how to arrange data by rows, columns, and values. The course then introduces text-based visuals such as cards and multi-row cards, which are ideal for emphasizing single values or compact summaries. Learners will configure these visuals for dashboards and mobile-friendly layouts, using formatting tools to enhance clarity and impact. Finally, learners will create stacked area charts, understanding how to visualize proportions and trends over time while managing scale and occlusion. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to build and format essential visuals that will support detailed reporting and effective storytelling.
