Buy Now $199 SAGA Forge

Power BI is built to be both powerful and accessible, but there are a few things that are challenging to pick up. We'll pick up where we left off in our Power BI for Oil & Gas class (aka Intro), with deeper dives into DAX, Power Query, Mapping, Data Modeling, and more.
This course is designed for users with 40+ hours of experience, so we'll move quickly and cover a lot of ground. We use real industrial datasets (Upstream Oil & Gas, specifically) and show you how to solve real problems that we encounter on a regular basis in our consulting work. Come for the Power BI wisdom, and stay for the memes and dad jokes!Read more...
