Course description
Power BI – Visual Layout & Field Basics is a course designed to help learners build effective and visually engaging reports using Power BI Desktop. This course focuses on the foundational skills that are needed to create, configure, and format visuals, empowering users to communicate insights clearly and professionally. Learners will begin by exploring the mechanics of building visuals, including how Power BI interprets different data types and assigns default visualizations. Through guided practice, learners will come to understand how they can manually select and configure visuals such as tables, clustered column charts, and stacked column charts. The course emphasizes the importance of using buckets—Power BI’s field containers—to organize data within visuals for maximum clarity. As learners progress, they will explore available formatting options to enhance readability and impact. This includes customizing titles, labels, colors, and adding certain interactive elements like legends and tooltips. The course also covers how visuals interact with each other on a report page, enabling dynamic filtering and cross-highlighting. Finally, learners will learn to add text boxes, images, and shapes to their reports, supporting storytelling and branding. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to design polished, interactive reports that effectively convey data-driven insights.
