$150 Power BI training -Sacramento July 22nd (SQL Saturday Precon)

[chass]

During the community webinars the most common question asked is:

Where do i find Power BI training?

The standard answer is the EDX class by Will Thompson:  https://www.edx.org/course/analyzing-visualizing-data-power-bi-microsoft-dat207x-1.  Unfortunately this isn’t an instructor led course, which is what most people want; so when Angel Abundez and and the folks at DesignMind mentioned they are offering a $150 instructor led class by two of the top BI folks in the Northern California, Angel himself and Eric Bragas  it was definitely something we wanted to let people know about!

Session Abstract:

How do you take advantage of Power BI community custom visuals? When should you choose to use a Power BI data model over a SSAS Tabular model? In this full day session, we’ll be learning the answers to all of these questions and more through hands on exercises driven by industry experience.

Join Angel Abundez and Eric Bragas of DesignMind as we guide you through building a full Power BI implementation. We’ll begin with the end in mind by first working with an existing Power BI model to explore the various visualizations get familiar with analyzing data using a well-built model. Then, we’ll develop our own workbook from a variety of data sources using the functionality of Power BI Queries and DAX measures in your Data Model. So bring your laptop, grab a cup of coffee, and get ready to learn.
