SUMMARY:2026 Cohort: Self-Study - Getting Started With Power BI
DESCRIPTION:Getting Started With Power BI (1.5) – Learn how to view and manipulate data in Power BI Service\, the online version of the popular Microsoft data visualization tool. Gini von Courter explores the features used most by Power BI “consumers”—the end users of Power BI content such as dashboards and reports. Learn how to sign up for Power BI and navigate a typical app. Find out how to subscribe to dashboards—collections of visualizations taken from reports and workbooks—and view individual tiles\, add comments\, set alerts\, and share dashboards and tiles with team members. Explore reports\, which display data in more detail. Go over how to sort and filter\, export\, and share reports\, either directly through Power BI or as a PowerPoint or PDF export. Finally\, learn how to view your dashboards and reports on the go using the Power BI mobile app. \n \n

SUMMARY:2026 Cohort: Overview of Power BI
DESCRIPTION:Overview of Power BI \n \nThe purpose of this training day is to give participants a good grounding in all the components of the Power BI ecosystem. Provide a list of questions and answers so participants can self-quiz. This will be a hands-on introduction so they must have their hardware to participate. We will create a very simple report with minimal data and minimal visuals and publish. Learners will have a robust understanding of the full ecosystem of Power BI\, thereby eliminating an employer’s need to provide orientation to the tool set.

SUMMARY:2026 Cohort: The Power of Query Editor: Beyond the Standard
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Query Editor: Beyond the Standard \nThe purpose of this training day is to give students an understanding of the Power Query Editor\, beyond the standard transformations (removing columns etc.) A special emphasis will be placed on: \n\nThe M-language\nFuture proofing a query\nRe-using steps in other queries.\nComplex transformations\n\nThis training day should enable participants to decide whether the PQE (and M) is an area they want to specialize in. It also should give students strong interview preparation. It will include exercises to be performed in their own time. Because the Power Query Editor is a tool that many knowledge workers are not familiar with\, learners will bring knowledge of the tool that they can share with co-workers. Because the Power Query Editor is useful with Excel and Power BI\, it is a tool that can add value to the workplace in multiple ways.

SUMMARY:2026 Cohort: Data Modeling
DESCRIPTION:Data Modeling (2-Day Session) \nThe purpose of these training days is to give participants a strong understanding of data modeling. This is one of the central skills in Power BI\, and participants should be able to discuss and create strong data models. Students should be able to articulate the advantages and disadvantages of a particular data model’s structure. Learners will be able to build performant data models from the start of their employment. Data modeling is a skill set that is not easy to master; TechFluent learners will not need the beginner or intermediate training in data modeling principles and concepts. Additionally\, they will be able to share best practices and explain the reasons why a practice is ideal for other employees. \n\nThe Star Schema (and other less ideal data models)\nRelationships (one-to-one\, one-to-many\, many-to-many)\nActive and inactive relationships\nIdentify and diagnose problems in a data model (repeating values\, incorrect results\, ambiguous results)\nHow to identify facts and dimensions\nWhen to create a calculated column vs. creating it in the PQE\nHow to measure performance in a report

SUMMARY:2026 Cohort: Creating Efficiencies
DESCRIPTION:Creating Efficiencies \nThe purpose of this training day is to show students how to use datasets and dataflows to eliminate re-work. It will also include creating a composite model (online data model and local data model). Learners will be able to articulate the benefits and limitations of working with datasets and dataflows created by others. This knowledge can provide significant benefits to employers as TechFluent learners can articulate and implement more efficient ways of working with data. They will be able to help streamlined ways of creating Power BI reports. Learners will also be able to choose between using Import\, Direct Query\, and Live Connection for ingesting data and/or data models.
