Getting insights from data isn't always straightforward. However, using a tool like Power BI helps with heavy lifting. Through this hands-on course, learn to obtain insights from data using a combination of Power BI's visualization and analysis features. Explore how and why numeric data is summarized. Discover how the sum, mean, and median statistics, among others, give different views of the same data. Practice modeling data into customized groups to better represent it to end users. Use scatter charts to identify clusters and enable analysis of snapshots of data with a play axis. Finally, use the key influencers visual to identify how certain metrics are influenced by values in other fields. Upon completion, you'll know how to take advantage of the analytics features of Power BI visuals. You'll also be more prepared for the DA-100 certification exam.
