Microsoft Power BI
16 hands-on modules · 12 tools & platforms · 70+ hours of training · Dedicated, focused training on building interactive business-intelligence dashboards. Covers data modelling, DAX, visuals and publishing, built around real business datasets from day one.
Who this course is for
Built for working professionals, analysts and MIS executives who are comfortable with basic Excel data and want dedicated, focused training on Power BI — without a long Excel detour first.
By the end you'll import and clean data with Power Query, build a clean data model with proper relationships, write confident DAX measures, and design, publish and share interactive, decision-ready Power BI dashboards.
1Program structure
Three phases over 8 weeks — from Power BI fundamentals and data import, through data modeling and DAX, to visuals, dashboards and publishing.
| Phase | Modules | Focus |

Phase 1Power BI Fundamentals & Data ImportModules 01–05The Power BI interface, connecting to data sources, and Power Query cleaning & shaping+
01Introduction to Power BI & the Desktop Interface+
Getting comfortable with Power BI Desktop — the ribbon, panes and workflow you'll use in every module.
02Connecting to Data Sources (Excel, CSV, SQL, Web)+
Bringing data in from spreadsheets, text files, databases and web sources the right way.
03Power Query: Import & Transform+
Applying repeatable, refreshable cleaning steps to raw data before it ever reaches a report.
04Power Query: Merging & Appending Queries+
Combining multiple related tables and stacking similar files into a single clean dataset.
05Cleaning & Shaping Data for Reporting+
Data types, column splitting, unpivoting and other shaping steps that make a dataset report-ready.
Phase 2Data Modeling & DAXModules 06–11Relationships, star schema, and writing confident DAX measures with time intelligence+
06Data Modeling & Relationships+
Building relationships between tables and understanding how Power BI's model drives every visual.
07Star Schema & Table Design+
Fact and dimension tables, star schema basics, and structuring a model that scales cleanly.
08Calculated Columns vs Measures+
When to use a calculated column vs a measure, and how each behaves inside the model.
09DAX Fundamentals & Syntax+
Core DAX syntax, common functions, and writing your first custom measures with confidence.
10CALCULATE & Filter Context+
The single most important DAX function — understanding filter context and modifying it with CALCULATE.
11Time Intelligence Functions+
YTD, MTD, prior-period comparisons and other time-intelligence measures for real business reporting.
Phase 3Visuals, Dashboards & PublishingModules 12–16Visuals, interactivity, navigation and publishing a full dashboard to Power BI Service+
12Visual Types & Formatting+
Choosing the right chart, table or card for each question, and formatting visuals for a business audience.
13Filters, Slicers & Interactivity+
Report/page/visual-level filters, slicers, and cross-filtering so viewers can explore the data themselves.
14Bookmarks, Drill-Through & Navigation+
Bookmarks, drill-through pages and button-based navigation for a guided, app-like report experience.
15Advanced DAX & Dashboard Design Principles+
Ranking measures and running totals, plus layout and visual hierarchy so a dashboard is genuinely decision-ready.

4How each module is taught
Every module follows the same practical, real-data lens, so you always know what to expect in class.
Concept Walkthrough
Trainer explains the concept with a business scenario first, then the formula or feature, using a real or realistic dataset.
Live Along
You build the same formula, query or report step by step, right alongside the trainer.
Hands-on Exercise
An independent task applying the concept to a new dataset or business question.
Doubt Clearing
One-on-one help for anyone stuck, before the class moves to the next module.
Weekly Assessment
A short practical Power BI test every week so gaps are caught early, not at the end.
5Projects & portfolio
Four practical, portfolio-ready projects across the full syllabus — the kind of work you'll show in interviews.
- Project 1. Power BI report built from a single dataset, cleaned and shaped with Power Query
- Project 2. Multi-source data model connecting several tables with a proper star-schema design
- Project 3. DAX-driven interactive dashboard with time-intelligence KPIs
- Project 4. Capstone: end-to-end Power BI business dashboard, published and shared, presented as you would to a manager
6Assessment & certification
Weekly practical assessments covering Power Query, data modeling and DAX, with instructor review and feedback.
Final practical exam across all three phases, plus the capstone project used as your demonstrable, portfolio-ready proof of skill.
Certificate of completion, plus resume and dashboard portfolio support through our 100% Placement Assist program.
7Quick answers
Do I need to already know Excel to join this course?
Basic comfort with spreadsheet data (rows, columns, simple formulas) is enough. This course is dedicated Power BI training and doesn't cover advanced Excel formulas — if you want that too, see our combined Advanced Excel & Power BI course.
Do I need any coding or SQL background?
No. DAX and Power Query's M language are taught from the ground up in this course — no prior coding or SQL is required.
Will I actually build dashboards, or is it mostly theory?
You'll build real dashboards from week one. Every module includes hands-on practice in Power BI on real or realistic business datasets, ending in a full capstone project.
Do I need my own laptop for this course?
A laptop is strongly recommended since you'll be practicing daily and building a portfolio, but institute computers with Power BI are also available in class.
Are classes online, offline, or both?
Both. Offline batches run at our Alpha-1, Greater Noida campus; online live batches follow the same curriculum with the same trainers. Morning, evening and weekend timings are available.
What can I do after completing this course?
You'll be ready for MIS executive, reporting analyst and Power BI/BI developer roles, with a dashboard portfolio of real projects, and can progress into the full Data Analytics track with the same placement support.
