DATA ANALYSIS

In The Business Context

APPLIED POWER BI COURSE

Course Overview
This course is designed to dive deeper into using data analysis to
solve a company’s problems using Power BI.
The course focuses on learning the impact of data analysis in
solving business problems, so we will study different business
needs and problems in several departments like marketing, sales,
and HR.
We will start from the beginning with the mindset of the person who
will deal with analysis problems. After that, we will use the popular
technical tool Power BI to provide solutions and accomplish the
project.
