Building Powerful Reports and Dashboards in Power BI

Microsoft connects business-intelligence goals with the experience of a report user. Reports and dashboards lead into performance and security, then a final project. Choose it when you want to consider how a finished report is used as well as how it looks.

What you will learn

• Connect a report with a business-intelligence objective.
• Design a dashboard around a user’s task.
• Recognize performance and security considerations in report delivery.

Who this suits

Before you enroll

The provider lists no formal prerequisite but recommends the course order. Check sharing and licensing requirements before planning how other people will access a report.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Create a dashboard for a fictional manager with three recurring questions. Test navigation and filter behavior, then document who should be able to view the underlying data.
