About this course

"Create SQL SELECT queries to extract data from databases.Learn to use the power of the database to achieve high performance queries.Write DAX calculations to generate powerful insights on dataClean and transform dirty data to get it ready for modelling.Create executive level dashboards."

"This course is targeted at Excel users who are able to format a table and write simple formulas such as SUM(A1:A10).Excel knowledge is not required. Anyone who understands basic tables should be fine with the course material.If you are a BI or SQL developer you may find some value in this course from the calculations but for modelling and SQL you're unlikely to learn much.You will be learning a new formula language that is similar to the one in Excel but in many respects quite different."

"This course follows on from my earlier course 'Learn Microsoft Power BI'. I recommend students complete that course first as I won't be covering the material that was included in the earlier course.For the SQL part of the course I use SQL Server Express with SQL Server Management Studio. If you want to follow along you can install the freely available SQL Server Express (covered in the course).Power BI Desktop should be installed. This is covered in the earlier course."
