Power BI Fundamentals (119579977) - Online

Description

CPA Members only

CPA Australia has partnered with the Corporate Finance Institute (CFI) to curate a collection of data and digital courses exclusively for CPA members. CFI courses have an emphasis on hands-on, practical learning and skills acquisition. They teach in-demand industry practices, tools and techniques that help accounting and finance professionals build confidence, stand out from the competition, and make a positive impact on their careers.

In this Power BI Fundamentals course, we will explore the powerful dashboarding tool, and you’ll learn how to tell meaningful stories with data. We will work with large and complex data-sets and teach you how to manipulate, organise and dashboard that data. We will start with the core-functionality and slowly build upon it as we create together a 3-page dashboard. This course highlights the extensive capability of Power BI, and how it can be used by a finance or business intelligence professional. 

Power BI is a growing tool for Financial Analysts, and its powerful dashboarding functions can help you automate your work and create impressive visuals for you to create meaningful stories with complex data. 

These dashboards will help you have a measurable impact of strategic decisions of the company. 

This CFI course involves specific technical requirements, so we encourage you to review them here.
