Power BI allows anyone to create beautiful looking charts and graphs that generate business insight and fuels decision making.
Power BI is a user-friendly business intelligence tool that lets you turn raw data into clear, interactive reports—no programming skills required. In this course, you’ll start by using Power Query to clean and organize your data. You’ll then build a strong data model by connecting multiple tables and preparing your dataset for analysis.
Next, you’ll dive into DAX, the formula language of Power BI, to perform calculations and gain deeper insights. Finally, you’ll create compelling visuals and share your interactive dashboards using Power BI Desktop and Online. With practice files and hands-on exercises, you'll be ready to apply these skills in real-world scenarios.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
very good course. Very good pace and explanation.
While it is being advertised as an introductory course, it actually included a lot of helpful tips in creating impactful dashboard and also in data design optimization to speed up the analysis and processing. The course described where you can get started with the software (i.e. where to download it) and touched on what you need (and where you need to be) in order to publish and share your report in a very clear manner.
Good Pace, not overly technical. Had good lessons to work alongside. The hint at the beginning for setting regional settings, seems like a good recommendation to make the data import work (otherwise the dates failed for Region = Canada).
The course was a very good introduction to BI. Two suggestions: (1)the material was difficult to download and access, as a result I lost quite a bit of potential practice. This should be simplified. (2) Students should be given a copy of the slides of the modules so we could practice on our own time, otherwise I will forget what I learned.
