Looking for step-by-step tutorials for individual AI tools?

Course overview

Follow a practical path through Power BI Desktop: get oriented with a first visualization, prepare an imported table, understand how table relationships affect analysis, and choose visuals that communicate a checked result. Each lesson is a separate Creative Commons-licensed demonstration from its uploader. Power BI features and interfaces can change, so treat screen details as version-specific and document your data and modeling decisions.

Describe the stages from source data to a report visual. Identify a data-preparation decision and check the resulting table. Explain why relationships and visual choices affect the answer shown.

No Power BI experience required. Power BI Desktop is optional for the conceptual exercises; availability and features can vary by operating system and software version.
