What will I learn?

This session focuses on the key steps associated with building a typical business report.

Learn how to build ‘measures’ (calculations) and ‘calculated columns’ and when to use one over the other. We also cover the most common DAX functions and how and when to use them.

This session is designed for those people who already use Power BI but want to be more creative and dynamic when building business reports.

To attend you should have some experience of importing and working with files of different types.
