Loved it. The instructor went through the most important basics of creating visuals in Power BI. I did have some basics thanks to using Tableau before, but it was nice to have someone showing you how to access certain features in Power BI.

A fairly quick intro to Power BI Desktop. The instructor is clear and incorporates some errors to show how to correct them to get the visualizations you need. Really wish there were intermediate and advanced courses on this topic.

The instructor was very clear and easy to follow. It helps a great deal to do the work alongside the instructor; it helps to retain the knowledge, instead of just reading a tutorial or viewing a video.

It's actually easy to start following these. Good job. I already learn R and Python, but with Power BI, maybe it's simpler and faster. Even with not so many choice of customification.

This project is exactly what you'd expect, getting familiar with Power BI, and some of the terminology. Great if you just have an hour or so to get into it.

Really good - a few more insights than you can get with the built-in Microsoft tutorial, and the side-by-side instruction interface is really excellent.
