Go from messy spreadsheets to secure, shared Power BI dashboards. Learn Power Query, data modelling, DAX, visual design and publishing through one realistic Indian retail story.
Most business data arrives messy: city files in different formats, totals that never quite match, and reports emailed around every Monday. This course teaches you to turn that mess into dashboards that managers open, understand and trust.
You'll follow Neha, a junior analyst at Desi Basket, a fictional Indian grocery retailer, from her first day to a finished management dashboard. Every lecture uses the same realistic dataset, so each new skill builds on the last. You'll clean data with Power Query, design star-schema models with a proper Indian financial-year date table, and write DAX from simple sums to time intelligence, ranking and semi-additive stock measures.
Then you'll design dashboards that answer real business questions: choosing the right visual, KPI cards, conditional formatting, drill-through, tooltips, bookmarks, themes and mobile layouts. In the final module you'll publish to the Power BI service, schedule refresh, add row-level security so each city manager sees only their city, share with apps and subscriptions, use Copilot and AI visuals responsibly, tune performance, and plan for the PL-300 exam.
Two live projects bring it all together: a sales dashboard built from raw files, and an inventory dashboard that explains festive-season stock-outs. Each comes with a brief, a template, a 100-point rubric and an answer key, so you finish with two portfolio pieces you can explain in any interview. Every lecture includes a practice file with an answer key, and every module ends with notes and a self-assessment.
