Course Description

You’ve turned data into dashboards. Now it’s time to make them smarter, faster, and enterprise‑ready. This advanced Power BI course builds on your existing skills and equips you with practical techniques to model, analyse, and publish at scale—with confidence.

This hands‑on course is perfect for professionals who want to:

  • Solve complex business questions with advanced DAX and robust data models.
  • Industrialise Power Query/M for reliable, parameterised ETL and incremental refresh.
  • Use Copilot to accelerate authoring (measures, visuals, and explanations) with effective prompting.
  • Optimise performance for large datasets and composite models.
  • Govern content with Dataflows, RLS, and deployment pipelines

Technical requirements: We will supply laptops with the necessary licenses.

Course Structure

This course is split over 5 modules:

    Advanced DAX & Data Modeling
    Design star schemas for many‑to‑many scenarios, apply calculation groups for Time Intelligence, and use virtual tables, iterator patterns, and context transition to express complex logic clearly.
     
    Power Query & ETL Engineering
    Author reusable M functions, build parameterised queries for multi‑environment deployments (Dev/UAT/Prod), and configure incremental refresh—including partition planning and error handling.
     
    Performance Optimisation & Reporting UX
    Tune models with aggregations and composite architectures; profile queries with Performance Analyzer; streamline visuals with field parameters, dynamic formatting, and bookmark‑based navigation.
     
    Dataflows, Security & Governance
    Create layered (staged/linked) dataflows, implement dynamic Row‑Level Security for role‑aware reporting, and manage lineage, refresh SLAs, and deployment pipelines for controlled releases.
     
    Copilot for Power BI
    Leverage natural language to draft measures, generate visuals, and summarise insights; refine prompts to balance speed with accuracy and maintain your modelling standards.
     

Should Attend

Analysts, BI developers, and domain leads who already build reports and want to elevate them to enterprise‑grade assets—without revisiting fundamentals.

Prerequisites

Comfortable with Power BI Desktop and Service (DAX basics, relationships, publishing). No fundamentals are covered in this course.

Assessment

There is no final assessment. Participants will be guided during the course. At the end of the course, attendees will receive a Certificate of Attendance..
