Description

Getting started with Power BI can feel overwhelming—many different views, unfamiliar terminology, and lots of places to click. This session breaks it all down. You’ll learn how the Data, Model, and Report views fit together and how each one plays a role in turning raw data into meaningful insights.

We’ll walk through a simple, end‑to‑end example: using Power Query to shape data, creating a basic data model with relationships, and then building a straightforward report.

Along the way, you’ll see how data flows through Power BI and how small decisions in the data and model layers directly affect what you can do in your reports. This session is ideal for anyone new to Power BI.
