Power BI is a software that lets users visualize and report data flexibly and share it in a number of ways. In this course, we cover how to use Power BI to create reports and visualizations with flair and share them easily with colleagues. We consider the difference between the Power BI app (desktop) and service (web browser). First, we walk through a sample report to show how it’s built, then we explain how and why to design and structure a report, including how to structure tabs, how many visuals to put on a page, and how to draw attention to one visual over another. We end by looking at more advanced visuals, including statistical diagrams and maps for geographic data. We design reports in the Power BI service, from basic layouts to choosing specific themes and fonts.
