What to expect

Power BI’s advanced features allow you to analyse data with greater precision and create reports that communicate patterns over time. This course expands your understanding of DAX by introducing variables, advanced functions and the logic that determines how formulas are evaluated.

You will explore Time-Intelligence functions to analyse trends across periods, compare performance and create meaningful calculations that shift with your data. These skills help you build more robust and adaptable models that reflect real-world reporting needs.

The course also covers advanced visualisation techniques, including report themes, conditional formatting and KPI indicators, so you can present insights clearly and effectively. By the end, you’ll be equipped to create dynamic, interactive reports that elevate your Power BI dashboards.

Is this course for you

This course is ideal for users who are ready to explore the advanced functions of Power BI. While there are no formal prerequisites, it assumes an intermediate understanding of Power BI gained through Microsoft – Power BI Desktop Level 1 or equivalent hands-on experience.

This course is suited to individuals who want to:

deepen their knowledge of advanced Power BI features
create more sophisticated and interactive reports
analyse and model data more effectively
gain greater insight from Power BI visualisations

Pre-requisite:
Participants must have completed Microsoft – Power BI Desktop Level 1 before attending this course.

What you will explore

During this training course, you will develop advanced Power BI skills to analyse data more deeply and create highly interactive, insightful reports. The course focuses on building complex DAX formulas, understanding evaluation context, applying time-intelligence functions, and designing dynamic visualisations that highlight performance and trends.

By the end of this training course, you should be able to:

Build complex DAX formulas using variables and advanced functions
Understand how DAX functions are evaluated
Create formulas that analyse data over time using Time-Intelligence functions
Create dynamic visualisations using report themes, conditional formatting and KPIs

Where this course can take you

During this training course, you will explore how to build complex DAX formulas using variables and advanced functions, and understand evaluation logic within DAX. You will learn how to apply time intelligence functions for period based analysis and deeper performance insight.

The course also focuses on creating dynamic visualisations using report themes and applying conditional formatting for clarity. You will learn how to use KPI indicators to highlight performance trends and support informed decision making.
