TOP REVIEWS FROM GETTING STARTED WITH POWER BI DESKTOP
Simple, easy and short course. Would definitely recommend it if you were looking to learn about power BI in a short period. Very informative and provide good explanation of the basics of the software,
Not bad, very basic, but excellently explained. The instructor is great. However, I find it too expensive for the amount of knowledge/skill that it gives, in comparison with a full Coursera course.
It was my first experience with online course. I found it great. Every thing was well explained and in detail by the instructor. It was easy to understand. Anyone looking for basics can take it.
Perfect Guided Project if you want to get yourself familiarize with working knowledge of PowerBI maybe for a specific task. However, for a detailed understanding, this may not be of much help.
