    “I think this is one of the most exhaustive trainings that I've seen on Power BI. This was a very down to earth presentation, while being equally informative. Thanks!”

    “I've been learning how to use Power BI on my own at work for the past 18 months or so and decided that I'd like to go down a more formal route to get a better understanding of how things are actually supposed to work. I already followed the Guy in a Cube channel on Youtube and watch all their videos when researching the various problems I've had. I find their presentation style very easy to follow along and they obviously know what they are talking about! I would highly recommend this course to anyone who's just starting using the software or wants a refresher to test their knowledge.”

    “As a first introduction to Power BI, I think this is a great course. I have been taking notes diligently and will be going back to make some improvements on reports that have already been developed. I hope there will be a more advanced course coming out from these guys. I think they do a great job on communicating and providing examples as I know that I can learn a lot more from Guy in a Cube. ”

FAQ

  • How is this different from Dashboard in a day?

    Dashboard in a day is a great initial intro to Power BI, but it is limited to a 4 hour block. In our Power BI Blueprint, we walk you through Power BI, beginning to end. We go deeper into those items than what Dashboard in a day allows for. We also add in tips and tricks we've learned over time.

  • Is this a live broadcast of an in-person training?

    No. This is an on-demand, self-paced, online training.

  • How long do I have access for?

    The course is available to you for 1 year. During that time, you will receive all updates to the course, along with any new sections that are added.
