Participants learn how to connect to data sources, clean and prepare data, build visualizations, and use simplified DAX formulas to enhance their reports. The course wraps up with sharing and collaboration features so reports can be distributed to a wider team. By the end of the day, participants can independently build a functional Power BI report from raw data to a shareable dashboard.
