About This Learning Path

This learning path is designed for professionals who already understand Power BI fundamentals and want to move into advanced, production-ready analytics. You will start by strengthening your data preparation skills in the Query Editor, learning how to import, reshape, and maintain clean datasets that update reliably. From there, you will progress into DAX with a practical focus, moving from calculated columns and measures to time intelligence, variables, and the critical concepts of row and filter context that unlock sophisticated analysis. You will also learn how to connect to enterprise data sources such as databases and Dataverse, and how to streamline refreshes with data gateways and scheduled updates. The path concludes with the Power BI online service, where you will publish reports, build dashboards, secure content with row-level security and sensitivity labels, and share insights at scale. Throughout, the emphasis is on Kubicle’s applied learning model. Each concept is reinforced through real business scenarios and a capstone project where you reduce customer complaints for an internet service provider by cleaning messy data, building a robust model, and crafting targeted visuals. By the end, you will be able to deploy fast, trustworthy analytics that support decision making in functions like finance, operations, and commercial teams.

What You'll Learn
