She’ll also demonstrate how to navigate the Power BI Desktop environment.
You’ll learn how to modify table elements and column properties and create hierarchies in the Table view. You’ll see how to use the Model view to create and manage relationships, modify properties of fields, and organize fields in display folders.
Then you'll take the tables you customized and use them to add and format visualizations on a report page. Once you've created the visualizations, you'll learn how to apply basic and advanced filtering on visualizations and pages and how to use a slicer so you will be able to narrow the scope of what you’re looking at within each visualization. Additionally, you’ll see how to edit interactions between visualizations and drill through levels of a hierarchy as well as how to publish a report to My Workspace.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledge you need for using Power BI to build reports which you can use to analyze data.
