Course description

Power BI – From Data Import to Relationships is designed to guide learners through the essential steps of importing, transforming, and connecting data in Power BI. This course builds on foundational Power BI knowledge and focuses on the practical skills needed to manage data from various sources, including Excel, SharePoint, and cloud-based services. Learners will explore the Power Query Editor, a powerful tool for cleaning and shaping data before analysis. The course begins with importing data from online sources like SharePoint lists and demonstrates how to remove unnecessary metadata using the Query Editor. Learners will gain confidence in transforming data, renaming columns, splitting fields, and adjusting data types to ensure accuracy in visualizations. The course also introduces the concept of conditional columns and calculated fields, helping learners derive new insights from existing data. A key focus of the course is understanding and creating relationships between tables. Learners will explore one-to-many and one-to-one relationships, using real-world examples to understand how data models are built and optimized. By working with a multi-table dataset, learners will see how to structure data for scalable and efficient reporting. This course is ideal for Power BI users who want to deepen their understanding of data preparation and modeling. By the end, learners will be equipped to manage complex datasets and build robust data models that support meaningful analysis.
