Guter Einstieg, aber teils zu schnell.

Ik werk met data maar had nog nooit met Power BI Desktop gewerkt, en deze cursus heeft me echt op weg geholpen. Vanaf het importeren en opschonen van data tot het bouwen van relaties tussen tabellen, alles wordt rustig en met concrete voorbeelden uitgelegd. Het onderdeel over DAX-formules vond ik pittig en had wat mij betreft iets langzamer gemogen. Toch heb ik na de cursus mijn eerste eigen rapport met interactieve visualisaties gemaakt voor mijn team, en dat voelde als een echte overwinning. Voor iemand die net begint met datavisualisatie is dit een prima startpunt.

I came in knowing basic Excel and left able to build a full report with connected data sources, custom measures, and clean visuals. The instructor explains why each step matters instead of just clicking through menus, which made the DAX section click for me. Definitely the most practical Power BI course I've tried.

इस कोर्स में Power BI Desktop से डेटा कनेक्ट करने और साफ करने के तरीके बहुत आसान भाषा में समझाए गए हैं। हर स्टेप के साथ एक असली उदाहरण दिया गया है जिससे समझना और भी आसान हो जाता है। कोर्स खत्म करने के बाद मैंने खुद अपनी टीम के लिए पहली डैशबोर्ड रिपोर्ट बनाई।

الدورة تشرح بشكل جيد كيفية استيراد وتنظيف البيانات في Power BI، لكن جزء العلاقات بين الجداول كان يحتاج شرحًا أعمق قليلاً.

Solid walkthrough of Power Query and basic DAX, though the report design section could use a couple more real-world examples.

Boa introdução ao Power BI, cobrindo desde a importação de dados até os primeiros gráficos, mas senti falta de mais prática na parte de DAX.

データの取り込みから整形、ダッシュボード作成まで一気に学べて、初めてでも迷わず進められました。

Kursus ini mengajar dengan jelas cara sambungkan sumber data dan bersihkan data guna Power Query sebelum masuk ke bahagian visualisasi. Setiap contoh diikuti dengan latihan sebenar yang buat saya lebih yakin bila cuba sendiri. Selepas habiskan kursus, saya berjaya hasilkan laporan pertama saya untuk pejabat dalam masa seminggu.

Verileri Power BI Desktop'ta temizleyip ilk interaktif panomu yapmak şaşırtıcı derecede kolaydı, çok memnunum.

Power BI Desktop'ta veri temizleme ve görselleştirme adımlarını gerçek örneklerle o kadar net anlatmışlar ki ilk raporumu kursu bitirmeden oluşturabildim.

Clear, hands-on walkthrough of connecting data sources and building actual visuals in Power BI Desktop, not just theory slides.

O curso ensina bem desde a conexão com fontes de dados até a criação dos primeiros relatórios no Power BI Desktop. A parte de modelagem de dados com relacionamentos entre tabelas exige um pouco mais de atenção e talvez precisasse de mais exemplos práticos. Ainda assim, consegui montar meu primeiro painel funcional já nas primeiras semanas.

Malinaw itong nagturo kung paano mag-connect at mag-clean ng data gamit ang Power Query bago pumunta sa paggawa ng visualizations. Medyo mabilis lang ang bahagi ng DAX formulas kaya kailangan kong balikan ito ng ilang beses. Pero overall, natutunan ko talaga kung paano gumawa ng report mula umpisa hanggang matapos.

Je travaille dans le marketing et je devais apprendre Power BI rapidement pour créer des tableaux de bord pour mon équipe. Ce cours part vraiment des bases, de la connexion aux sources de données jusqu'au nettoyage avec Power Query, avant d'aborder la modélisation et les visualisations. Chaque leçon suit un exemple concret qu'on construit soi-même en même temps que le formateur, ce qui rend l'apprentissage beaucoup plus concret. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la section sur les relations entre tables, qui était pour moi le point le plus flou avant de commencer. À la fin, j'avais un rapport complet et présentable, prêt à montrer à mon manager.

Buena introducción a Power BI, aunque algo rápida.

الدورة غطت أساسيات Power BI بشكل منظم بدءًا من ربط مصادر البيانات وصولًا إلى بناء التقارير الأولى. جزء الدوال في DAX كان يحتاج إلى أمثلة إضافية لأنه المكان الذي واجهت فيه بعض الصعوبة. رغم ذلك خرجت من الدورة قادرًا على إنشاء تقرير بيانات كامل بنفسي.
