Does the course cover data refresh?

Yes. Participants will learn about Power BI data refresh, scheduled refresh, and important considerations when maintaining refreshed reports.

Does the training cover Row-Level Security (RLS)?

Yes. The course covers both static and dynamic Row-Level Security, including USERNAME() and USERPRINCIPALNAME(), testing security roles, and managing RLS after publishing.

Is the training practical or theoretical?

The training is designed to be practical and hands-on, with demonstrations, exercises, and practical scenarios that allow participants to apply Power BI techniques throughout the program.

What tools are required for the training?

Participants should have access to Power BI Desktop. Access to Power BI Service may also be required for the publishing, refresh, and security sections.

What will I be able to do after completing the training?

Participants will be able to transform and consolidate data, design effective Power BI data models, create advanced DAX measures, build interactive reports and dashboards, publish reports, configure refresh, and implement Row-Level Security.

Is this course suitable for complete beginners?

No. This is an advanced-level program. Participants should have prior Power BI experience or complete a basic/Level 1 Power BI course before attending.

Can this training be customized for an organization?

Yes. The training can be customized based on the organization's data sources, reporting requirements, business scenarios, and participants' skill levels.
