Should You Learn Power Bi? Everything You Need To Know

What is Power BI? What is Power BI used for? This video explains Power BI in plain English.
You see, there is a reason why companies are investing more and more in Power BI projects.
Actually, there are four reasons why Power BI is preferred to the competition.
Power BI beats the competition in terms of sharing reports - you can easily share Power BI reports on the browser, on mobile, in Excel, Teams and also PowerPoint.

Over 4, 000 people already signed up and started improving their Power BI skills.
This course wasn't easy to put together. Me and my team spent many months and sleepless nights coming up with the best learning experience while making sure we cover all the real-world topics that you will likely come across at work. If you've signed up already, THANK YOU 🙏

As a Team Leader, I have been accessing Power-BI for months. The filtering and sorting of the information is quite impressive. Most of the charts that my company uses are not flashy by any means, but they are clean and easy to read. I am quite impressed with the application.

I agree with a previous post... You have a very complete way of presenting the material. You always present value-added features which are actually useful to the common business professional.
And, please continue to provide the video outline in the Description so we can glance over it and decide if the video is interesting as we're not always in the video-viewing mood or want to watch and take notes but are not in a position to do so.
Thanks for all the hard work at keeping us informed!

I joined my company as they were transitioning from excel to power bi. I will admit there was very little out there to learn from but somehow I taught myself by remembering excel formula. I agree power bi is the future.

My company has been implementing PowerBI for 2 years and we’re yet to have something usable. The problem with letting people create their own reports is they have to know and understand the data, otherwise they make bad decisions based on bad reports.

You're videos are always so helpful! And I love your laid-back confident presentation style! 👍

[amyhunter]

Thank you Leila and the XelPlus Team for another fantastic course. You make it so accessible but comprehensive at the same time. Completing a whole course gives me the confidence and the skills without any gaps. Instead of a mash up of YouTube tutorials I know I have all the essential information to start and in addition a great deal of further detail to study and become expert. Many thanks again

I have been working with powerBI for a month now and it is really great to use. Thanks for all your videos :) the mapping functionality has really come in handy for me

[ronanokennedy]

having used power BI for biopharma application for a while now, Its a great tool. However, the business focus backed into the defaults means that it is limited for particularly time course analysis. The big advantage is it support data integrity as not making copies of raw data.

Hi Leila, thank you for yet again a great video! We experienced a snag with Power BI recently, namely only users with Pro subscription can see the created presentation. Is there a way to share the interactive report (interactive as using buttons to filter different way) on a webpage or Teams group (or really any way other then export a "flat" file)? Thank you for you great tips :)

[MrDavs]

PowerBI visualisations have some huge shortcomings, but it’s strengths are evident. It needs a little more support and QOL improvements

[vijayarjunwadkar]

Well, I finally enrolled in your Power BI course Leila, and progressing! It appears promising, and I am sure, I will learn a lot. Thank you for your teaching passion that's helping so many people around the globe! Keep up the great work! 🙂

I like this angle that you are talking about Power Bi implementation. My experience (approx 1 years) of Power Bi dev projects are much more complicatedt than that what the end users are made to belive. As they start off in wrong angle and dont understand update of data, storage etc.. It is not as excel unless you deal with data in your local machine then is more possibilities. Depends on company but Power Bi reports are tip of ice bergs, and has to have to e part of a solid ecosystem. The stong pro of power bi is that you can maintain and control datasets in that environment. The datasets can then be provided to end users for their purposes.

Could you make a similar power bi video for academics? Specifically for professors who coordinate programs and have 100 students who major in a topic. That would be very helpful. The goal would be student retention and Fast Track graduation. Whenever a student fails a course they are set back to not graduate on a schedule. Classes are not offered every semester, so the delay for graduation may increase. Basically what I'm looking for is a personal interaction with hundred plus students hoping the power bi may help me. For example, social support, celebration messages, birthday greetings, highlights of achievements, such as presentation at conferences or other activity students do. Additionally, personal stories, testimonials, and alike (from students). Tnx!

Does the course provide how to use pro licence stuffs : like publishing dashboard, implementation of RLS, scheduled refresh in the project? Or its just theory part?

[Joda-esxd]

I really enjoy all your videos and will try to register to start my journey in Power BI. Thank you

[abdullahigabasawa]

Hello 👋 good morning
Please do excell campus have a n e-learning site that offers online training and issues certificate??

[lepettit]

Thank you for sharing this information. I've been using PBI for a few years now but still not fluent. I may just look into this course.

[engrzuhair]

@Leila, I’m looking for project portfolio management using Powe bi application. Please make some tutorial or video on it to monitor multiple projects monitoring at same time.

Phenomenal interactive explanation that I was looking for days!
