Description
If you can answer yes to any of the questions below, this course is probably right for you!
- Do you want to find out how to use finished reports and dashboards?
- Would you like to understand interactions, filtering and drilling into details in Power BI?
- Do you want to get started creating and publishing reports and dashboards?
- Do you want a high-level overview of what the Power BI product portfolio contains?
- Do you want to know which data can be used in the Power BI universe?
- Do you want to know the options for accessing and using reports, dashboards and apps?
In the course, you design your own reports, publish them and create dashboards that bring together visualizations from different reports to give you a quick overview.
The course gives you insight into the process of creating reports, where a good data model is key: it makes reports more efficient and calculations easier to build. You can do all of this without being a developer. In fact, you can often reach your goal without writing a single line of code.
With Power BI, you can build your data foundation from a range of data sources, where data can be transformed and loaded into a data model, which is central to calculations and visuals. You learn how to connect to a range of data sources, so after the course you can connect to your own data and keep working with it in Power BI.
The course is a good fit for employees at the start of a larger Power BI project, for example so they can get off to a good start with Power BI and talk with the consultants on a more equal footing at a technical level. The course is also a good fit for those who need to get started with the whole process from A to Z: going from data sources to finished reports, dashboards and apps.

I can't give anything less than 5 stars across the board. Either you're truly in a class of your own, or I've just been to the wrong course venues before. Fantastic place and atmosphere.... once you've learned to find your way around :-)
Your instructors are exceptional; skilled, competent and good at teaching - so you have everything you need to get off to a good start.
You have fantastic facilities, good food and lovely people throughout the building.
A really good, in-depth course. Your course facilities at Karlebogaard are nothing short of fantastic. A beautiful historic house with lots of fun stories and great course rooms. The course itself was very useful. I learned everything I had hoped to and then some. My instructor was damn good and really funny. He made it a pleasure, and the hours flew by.
Probably the best course I've ever taken and the best instructor I've ever had!! Really good depth and thorough explanations, and on top of that, fantastic food!!!
Delicious food, cozy facilities, good structure and atmosphere. I'll be back when I can.
Absolutely the best course I've ever taken!
The course venue is so inviting and welcoming that it has been a pleasure to be here. Clean, tidy and full of charm. I attended a course where all the individual parts came together into a greater whole that can hardly be described.
I got a lot out of the course. It opened my eyes to possibilities I didn't know existed. I'm sure this won't be the last time we're in touch with SuperUsers.
I never in my wildest dreams imagined that a course venue could be so beautiful. I don't know if it's true, but I have a feeling that the surroundings rub off on the people who work here, so everyone seems incredibly happy.
There's a really great atmosphere. All the way from the woman at the reception desk to the people who work in the kitchen.
The instructor tailored the course to my level to a very large extent and was flexible. I had very high expectations, and they were exceeded.
Great precision, good exercises, good pace, a great atmosphere and maximum learning.
The instructor was very pleasant and the exercises were extremely good. I really learned a lot about the topics the course covered.
On top of that, really nice, calm and green surroundings with good catering - especially good food. I would like to take my courses here again next time.
It was a real pleasure to take a course at SuperUsers. The week we spent on the course was worth the money and means that we can now save many consultant hours. It's always nice to have the knowledge in-house.
There is a relaxed atmosphere in the classroom, lovely surroundings in the building itself, and skilled instructors who do a really good job.
I started using all the knowledge I soaked up on the course almost right away, and now we are well underway with developing our future cloud solution.
There is no doubt about who we will turn to if we need other courses.
This is my first time at SuperUsers. It has been a really good experience. The instructor seems very experienced and competent.
The instructor's strong technical background made the course and the in-depth answers to questions a good experience.
A really nice course venue in pleasant surroundings that make for a good setting for focused learning. The instructor came across as well prepared, with extensive knowledge of the relevant topics.
The instructor also showed a strong ability to answer any questions that came up during the course.
I'll be back the next time I need to take a course. It's a lovely place, the food is fantastic, and the instructor is very knowledgeable and happy to share that knowledge!
The technical depth of the course was really good. The instructor's knowledge went much deeper than the curriculum necessarily requires.
You could throw all kinds of curveballs at the instructor, and he had it all under control - he also made the content exciting.
We have now completed Microsoft 365 courses for a total of 5 people here in our department. Everyone agrees that it was an excellent course with a skilled instructor and communicator who could discuss and explain things at the right level, while also being efficient and bringing humor.
It has been a really good experience.
It's calm and quiet at SuperUsers' country venue. Good atmosphere and catering. Some thought has gone into healthy eating when it comes to food and cake, so it doesn't get completely out of hand.
The instructor is knowledgeable about the topics and readily puts them in a broader perspective by relating them to other relevant areas. It's rewarding that this is possible too, and it gives you ideas for further study.
In addition, the instructor was engaged and entertaining to have presenting the content.
As always, it was a great experience, and you learn a lot in a short time from some very skilled instructors.
I work in Azure almost every day, and both courses have been really good at helping me understand Azure better.
The instructor is very presentation-oriented and gets you involved in the teaching and the material. He is good at varying the teaching so it never gets monotonous.
It is clear that the instructor has hands-on experience and not just the theory, with many good examples that related to real-world challenges we might encounter.
Good facilities and good food, without drowning in unhealthy habits.
Very good course, the instructor was the best. I've been here at SuperUsers before, now I'm here again, and hopefully coming back another time.
The instructor seemed very competent and has extensive knowledge of his field. He was good at explaining things in a clear and humorous way. There were also simple exercises that gave a good understanding.
The instructor was really good at going in depth while still making sure everyone was keeping up. A really nice venue and room, and great food.
There was no doubt that the instructor knew exactly what he was talking about, and even the simplest questions were answered gladly, without anyone being made to feel stupid.
A lovely, cozy place where the receptionist, the kitchen and the instructors make you feel at home. A good setting makes for good learning. Really good food that helps round out the whole experience of taking a course at SuperUsers.
Really happy with the venue and the stay over in the horse stable. I'll see if I can come back here for the next course I take. A really beautiful building, and great to experience a place like this. A fantastic place to hold a course.
