Data analysis for accountants: Power BI

Power BI is a self-service business intelligence package from Microsoft that helps you analyse across data sets and really get behind the numbers. It builds on Excel concepts but enables even more powerful data manipulation. It's a tool that every accountant can benefit from.

You'll explore the features of Power BI, which allow you to connect to, transform, model data. Gain an understanding of the data visualisations available in power BI that enable you to tell a story with your data.

This course will enable you to:

• use Power BI's "Power Query" to connect to and transform your data into a useable format
• gain a deeper understanding of DAX (the language used in Power Pivot Excel)
• build on your ability to analyse data and learn to spot trends and patterns
• tell the story of your data using Power BI's data visualisations
