What will you learn?
After the training, you will be able to:
Explain the theoretical background and inner workings of Power BI
Work from different data sources with Power BI
Perform advanced Power BI techniques, including working with M & DAX
Apply best practices while working with Power BI

Program
During this training, you will learn how to perform advanced data transformations unavailable in the Query Editor. We will discuss leveraging the embedded PowerBI programming language (M) to achieve this. The M basics will be covered as well as how to write custom functions empowering participants to work with poorly structured data and to prepare it for a star structure.
In addition, you will learn how to enable dashboard users to write back to a source through Power Apps. We will cover Power Apps fundamentals, including how to create a Power App and add it as a visual on a Power BI dashboard.
Finally, as performance problems might occur when models grow larger and more complex, we will address the Vertpaq Analyzer and DAX studio, two powerful tools to diagnose and fix performance issues.
