Power BI Desktop Part 3: Creating an Interactive Dashboard

Target audience: This course is suitable for any user new to the subject and requires no specific knowledge or experience of Power BI. However, the session is part of a series of three and although they are all self-contained, they are most effective when taken in order. A copy of Power BI Desktop is a necessity.

In previous sessions we learned how to connect data sources to Power BI Desktop, Transform data in the Power Query Editor, Load data into the Data Model, add visualisations, create relationships and perform calculations. In this third session we will add the components of an interactive dashboard, add a second page to the report with further visualisations, then Save the report locally.

We will subsequently Publish the report to the Power BI Workspace so that others will be able to collaborate with us on the Power BI Dashboard. Please note that this requires a Microsoft account, and a generic email address (e.g. Hotmail, gmail etc.) is not acceptable. The account must be created with a company email address, and although limited functionality can be used without a Power BI License, some functionality may be reduced.
