The Best Practices for Data Visualization (Morning Session)

You’ve got data and you’ve got questions, but what's the best way to visualize that data to get the answers you need? How to choose the best type of chart for your use case? Transforming data into an impactful visualization or dashboard is both since and art. This foundation workshop is designed for analysts who are interested to learn more about the best practices for data visualization. It is for anyone who works with data – regardless of technical or analytical background. In this workshop, we will review some do’s and don’t that you could apply to your dashboards.

Power BI refresher (Afternoon Session)

This session is tailored for beginner PowerBI users who attended the Power BI Essentials class last year. It’s suitable for anyone working with data, regardless of their technical or analytical background. This refresher course aims to help you grasp and apply key concepts and techniques in PowerBI Desktop, Query Editor, and Model Designer. Additionally, we’ll explore some of the new AI-related features introduced in the latest versions of PowerBI such as Copilot. This is a live, instructor-led online course, presented in a demo-like format.
