BI combines business analytics, data visualization, and best practices that help you make decisions. You will learn two important, economical, user-friendly, and effective BI tools, Power BI and Tableau.

Power BI, a Microsoft product, analyzes and visualizes raw data and presents actionable information. This course provides you guidance from installation to Dashboard along with practical exercises, quizzes, and a project on Sales Dashboard that will help you practice it side by side to become an expert in Power BI.

Tableau, a visual analytics platform, transforms the way data is used to solve problems, empowering businesses to make the most of their data. In the course project, you design the Customer Analysis Dashboard with the help of our simple but comprehensive explanation.

You will not stop here. You will also receive invaluable guidance on career development in the last section. This will help you prepare for interviews for any BI role.
