Dashboard Basics
Build your first dashboard.
Who it's forFor the analyst, manager, or student who already lives in Excel and now needs to turn a spreadsheet into a shareable, interactive dashboard in Power BI — with no prior BI experience assumed.
Go from spreadsheets to real dashboards. If you know Excel, you can do this — connect your data, build clear visuals, and publish your first…
What you'll be able to do
Connect an Excel/CSV file, fix the column data types, and load it cleanly into Power BI Desktop.
Build a one-page report with bar, line, and card visuals that all cross-filter each other.
Add slicers (date, category) that control every visual on the page.
Apply consistent formatting and titles so the dashboard looks deliberate, not default.
Sounds familiar?
I can build a pivot table, but a "dashboard" feels like a whole different skill I've never been taught.
I imported my data and half my numbers came in as text — now nothing will sum.
My charts look nothing like the polished dashboards I see online and I don't know what I'm missing.
I added a slicer but it only filters one chart, not the whole page.

Who it's forFor someone comfortable building basic Power BI reports who now hits a wall the moment they need relationships between tables, reusable measures, or year-over-year calculations.
Build dashboards that scale: model your data properly, shape it with Power Query, and write DAX measures for the calculations real reports need —…
What you'll be able to do
Build a clean star-schema model (fact + dimension tables) with correct relationships and a date table.
Write explicit DAX measures with CALCULATE, SUM, and FILTER, and explain why a measure beats a column.
Shape and clean raw data in Power Query (split, unpivot, merge) before it reaches the model.
Produce working time-intelligence measures (YoY, YTD, running total) and wire up drill-through.
Sounds familiar?
My numbers double or blow up when I join two tables and I don't understand why.
I keep writing the same calculation as a column over and over instead of one reusable measure.
The difference between a calculated column and a measure still isn't clicking for me.
I need year-over-year and month-to-date, but my DAX returns the same number for every row.

Who it's forFor a confident Power BI user ready to make reports fast, secure, and persuasive — and to become bilingual by adding the fundamentals of Tableau alongside it.
Become the analyst teams rely on: optimise report performance, secure data with row-level security, tell a clear story with your visuals, and add…
What you'll be able to do
Diagnose and fix a slow report using Performance Analyzer, a leaner model, and tighter DAX.
Implement Row-Level Security with DAX roles so each user sees only their permitted rows.
Restructure a cluttered dashboard into a guided narrative with a clear focal point.
Rebuild a Power BI dashboard in Tableau using calculated fields and an LOD expression, and publish it.
Sounds familiar?
My report is slow to load and I don't know whether it's the model, the DAX, or the visuals.
Different users need to see only their own region's rows, and I have no idea how to enforce that.
My dashboard shows the data but doesn't tell a story — stakeholders don't know what to look at first.
My company is moving to Tableau and I'm worried everything I learned in Power BI is now useless.
No guarantees, no fixed curriculum — just a specific, repeatable way of working that gets you unstuck on Power BI & Tableau.
01
Built around your goal
There is no fixed syllabus to keep pace with. The hour is built backwards from the one thing you need — a failing assignment, a concept that will not stick, a project to ship.
02
Diagnosed, not re-taught
We find the precise step where it breaks down instead of re-covering what you already know — so the time goes to the gap that actually matters.
03
You drive, I steer
You do the work in real time while I guide — that is how it sticks. You leave able to do it yourself, not just having watched me do it.
04
Honest pace & pricing
You only pay for the levels and pace that fit. We agree the plan together after the free first session — no packages you do not need.

All sessions are 1-on-1 and 100% online over video, with screen sharing and a shared editor or whiteboard. Sessions are typically 60–90 minutes and scheduled around your availability.
Which Power BI & Tableau level should I start at?
