FAQ – Microsoft Power BI Training
What is Power BI?
Power BI is Microsoft’s Business Intelligence suite that lets you connect, transform, model, and visualize data from heterogeneous sources (Excel, SQL, Dataverse, SAP, APIs, files). It consists of Power BI Desktop (report authoring), Power BI Service (cloud publishing), and Power BI Mobile. The MFE-IT Advanced training targets users already familiar with Power BI who want to master DAX, advanced Power Query, and enterprise features.
What is DAX in Power BI?
DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is the formula language used in Power BI, Analysis Services, and Power Pivot. It lets you create measures, calculated columns, and derived tables. Mastering DAX (CALCULATE, FILTER, ALL, SUMMARIZE, VAR/RETURN variables) is the key to building advanced business KPIs. The MFE-IT Advanced training devotes a large part to DAX in context and Time Intelligence patterns.
What is the difference between Power BI and Excel?
Excel remains a versatile spreadsheet suited to ad-hoc analyses and small volumes. Power BI is designed for enterprise reporting: large data models, automatic refresh, row-level security (RLS), cloud collaboration, and rich interactive visualizations. Both share the Power Query engine and DAX, making skills transferable.
How long is the Power BI Advanced training?
The MFE-IT training lasts 2 days (14 hours), in a 100% tailor-made format with a maximum of 3 participants per session. It goes deep into Power Query (M functions, parameters), star-schema data modeling, advanced DAX (Time Intelligence, filter/row context), custom visuals, RLS, and publishing to Power BI Service. 30 days of post-training support.
