Power BI Training

Using Power BI, you can analyze, evaluate and visualize business data in real time and by using the self-service method. This allows business users to easily obtain knowledge from their data and make informed decisions.

We have developed a Training course that can be tailored to meet the exact demands of participants due to its modular structure:

• 'Basics' module (1 day)

• 'Advanced' module (1 day)

• 'Coaching' module (n days)

The above date relates to the 'Basics' module (1 day). If you are interested in the 'Advanced' or 'Coaching' modules, please contact us directly by emailing patrick.maul@inovex.de or stefan.kirner@inovex.de. Thank you!
