Using Power BI with Excel
In this course, I learned the fundamentals of turning Excel data into dashboards using Power BI. This course played on principles of coursework I have previously taken in the Turning Numbers into Knowledge course, as well as Tableau-driven analytics work I performed during my internship as an Air Logistics Data Intern this summer. I found this course especially interesting as many of the topics covered (calculated fields, DAX, visualization principles, etc.) were similar or identical to topics I had previously learned in regard to Tableau visualizations; applying these existing skills to the Power BI platform has helped prepare me for my incoming position as Project Management intern in the fall, where I will be helping to develop Power BI initiatives at Spencers & Spirit Halloween.
