Power BI Training FAQs

Yes! The course starts from the fundamentals and progressively covers advanced reporting, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced professionals.

If you miss a session, we provide class notes and exercises to help you catch up. You can also attend the same session in a future batch (subject to availability).

We accept credit/debit cards, wire transfers, and corporate invoices for employer-sponsored payments.

Choose it if your company already uses Microsoft Fabric or is moving to it, or if your reports have outgrown single files and shared drives. Over 40,000 organizations now pay for Fabric, up more than 60% in a year, and Power BI is part of it.

It's a good fit if you:

hear "Fabric", "OneLake" or "lakehouse" in meetings and want to keep up
want Copilot in Power BI at work, since it runs on Fabric capacity
work in healthcare, where Epic, a widely used hospital records system, is moving its analytics onto Fabric
want to build the data pipelines behind your reports, not just the reports

You'll understand where your data comes from and how it's prepared and shared, and you'll be able to work alongside your IT and data teams instead of waiting on them. If your organization is heading that way, you can add the SQL + Fabric track at checkout and carry straight on with the same trainer and classmates.

Choose it if your data lives in company databases rather than spreadsheets, or if you're aiming for an analyst or reporting role. About 3 in 4 job listings that ask for Power BI also ask for SQL, so employers increasingly expect both.

It's a good fit if you:

wait on IT every time you need a new data extract
find your numbers don't match between the database and your reports
are moving from a finance, operations or business role into an analyst role
work with large datasets that slow Excel down

With SQL, you pull exactly the data you need yourself, check figures at the source and build reports that refresh without manual exports. If that sounds like your day, you can add the SQL + Fabric track at checkout and continue with the same cohort after the Power BI sessions.

No! We start from scratch and progressively cover advanced concepts, making it beginner-friendly. However, basic Excel skills are recommended.

Yes! Upon successfully completing the course and passing the final assessment, you will receive a Power BI Associate – Data Analysis & Dashboards Certificate.

Yes! You will learn DAX for advanced calculations and Power Query for data transformation, helping you build scalable and efficient reports.

This is a live, instructor-led course with hands-on exercises, real-world case studies, and interactive Q&A discussions.

You can retake sessions from a future batch (subject to availability), but full course re-enrollment may require an additional fee.

Our course also includes sessions on AI tools (Copilot and Claude), which most pre-recorded tutorials on Udemy or Coursera either don’t cover or cover in isolation without the Power BI foundations needed to use them effectively.

$699 for ExcelGoodies' 2-week live, instructor-led Power BI course — which includes 20 hours of training, 14 hands-on projects, Power Query and DAX modules, and a Power BI Associate Certificate. Across the industry, Power BI training typically ranges from $200 for self-paced video courses to $2,000+ for in-person bootcamps. The key difference is format: self-paced courses are cheaper but lack live interaction, while instructor-led programs like ours offer real-time Q&A, personalized troubleshooting, and hands-on project reviews. Corporate teams of 10+ are eligible for additional group discounts.

Our AI sessions (Sessions 9–10) also help you accelerate your learning curve post-course, since tools like Claude can help you troubleshoot issues and explain concepts as you practice on your own.

Yes — Power BI is consistently ranked the #1 business intelligence platform by Gartner, and trained Power BI professionals in the US earn between $75,000 and $120,000 depending on role and experience. The return on investment is significant: a $699 training course can lead to higher-paying roles like BI Analyst, Data Analyst, or Power BI Developer, where Power BI skills are listed as a top requirement. Beyond salary, professionals who know Power BI save their teams 5–10 hours per week by automating manual Excel-based reporting. Over 35,000 professionals have trained with ExcelGoodies, and many report career transitions into data-focused roles within months of completing the course.

Additionally, our course now includes dedicated sessions on AI tools (Copilot and Claude AI), giving you skills that most Power BI professionals don’t yet have — a meaningful differentiator on your resume and in job interviews.

The best Power BI course depends on your learning style, but for professionals who want live, expert-led training with hands-on projects, ExcelGoodies is a top choice — trusted by 35,000+ professionals and 300+ companies including government entities like the IRS and The World Bank. What sets it apart: the course is taught by Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs) with 14+ years of industry experience, covers Power BI, DAX, Power Query, and Power Pivot in just 2 weeks, includes 14 real-world dashboard projects, and includes 2 dedicated AI sessions covering Microsoft Copilot and Claude AI — something most competing courses don’t offer.

Yes, absolutely — Power BI is designed as a no-code/low-code tool, and no programming background is needed to start. ExcelGoodies' course begins from the fundamentals and is specifically built for non-technical professionals in finance, operations, HR, marketing, and management. You will learn DAX formulas (which are similar to Excel formulas, not traditional coding) and Power Query transformations (which use a drag-and-drop interface). The only prerequisite is basic familiarity with Excel — if you can write a VLOOKUP or create a PivotTable, you have everything you need to succeed in this course.

For most business professionals, Power BI is the better choice — it integrates natively with Excel, Microsoft 365, and Azure, costs significantly less (Power BI Pro is $10/user/month vs Tableau Creator at $75/user/month), and is the #1 ranked BI platform in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for the fourteenth consecutive year. Tableau is strong in advanced data visualization and is preferred in some data science and research environments, but Power BI dominates in enterprise adoption — over 97% of Fortune 500 companies use Microsoft tools. If your organization already uses Excel, SharePoint, or Teams, learning Power BI gives you immediate practical value because it connects seamlessly to your existing data. ExcelGoodies' Power BI training covers all the skills needed to become proficient, regardless of whether you've used Tableau before.

Yes. Sessions 9 and 10 are dedicated to AI-powered BI. You’ll learn Microsoft Copilot for natural language report building inside Power BI, plus Claude AI for data analysis, DAX generation, and executive reporting outside Power BI. But here’s what makes our approach different: we teach AI after you’ve built the foundational skills (Sessions 1–8). This way, when AI gives you an output, you’ll know whether it’s correct, how to fix it if it’s not, and when it’s better to do the work yourself.

Absolutely — and this is the most important question to get right. AI tools like Copilot can generate DAX formulas from plain English, but they make mistakes. They get evaluation contexts wrong. They misinterpret relationships. They produce formulas that look correct but return wrong numbers. If you don’t understand DAX yourself, you’ll accept wrong answers without realizing it. Our course teaches you DAX thoroughly (Sessions 5–7) so that when you use AI to speed up DAX writing (Session 9–10), you have the expertise to validate, refine, and trust the output. AI makes fast work faster — but only if you know what “correct” looks like.

Claude AI (by Anthropic) is a general-purpose AI assistant that excels at data analysis, code generation, and turning complex data into plain-English narratives. We include it because Copilot only works inside Power BI — but real-world BI work involves tasks outside Power BI too: cleaning messy source data, writing SQL queries, debugging formulas, interpreting statistical results, and preparing executive summaries. Claude handles all of that. Together, Copilot (inside Power BI) and Claude (outside Power BI) give you a complete AI-augmented workflow. Session 10 teaches you when to use which tool — and when to rely on your own expertise instead.

No. We demonstrate Copilot features live during Session 9. For hands-on practice with Copilot in your own Power BI environment, you’d need a Fabric capacity (F64+) or Premium Per User license, but this is not required for the course. Claude AI is accessible via a free tier, so you can follow along with Session 10 on your own device.

Quotes icon Overall really enjoyed the course. Nice balance between demos, guided practice and independent practice. I really enjoyed the exercises where criteria was displayed and we had 20 minutes to build it up. Content felt very heavy on dashboard creation with an accelerated run thru PowerQuery material in the last several days; I think this could be a bit more balanced. My company had 5 students with stronger use needs for automated data manipulation than db's. The SQL review on Day10 was a bit fuzzy, I couldn't quite follow the benefits or use cases where this would be relevant. I would recommend adding a 5min break to the middle of each session for biological needs; 2.5 hrs is a long shot for some folks. We spent about 5 minutes at the beginning of each lesson setting up the day's folder structure, copying over data sets, etc. Could eliminate this and replace with a break if the overall folder structure was distributed with data sets already loaded in place at start of course. I.e. send zipped structure with folders for Days 1-10, each containing the ""Project X - Dashboard"" subfolders with Sales.Data.csv, etc, already saved in place. Thanks for the experience! looking forward to applying the knowledge! Quotes icon

Delaney Sullivan | Finance Transformation Project Manger | American Tower | United States (Power BI Training)

Quotes icon I had a little experience with Power BI prior to the class. The information given greatly expanded my knowledge and I am excited to put the knowledge to use. Sami's instructions were very easy to follow and he made sure to answer everyone's questions. The only issue I had with the course was with the students not the instructor or course itself. It was a bit frustrating when some of the students were not prepared (especially not having the system requirements installed) and we had to wait for them to download materials or software. Sami handled it professionally but it took away time that could have been used for training. Overall, I am very please with what I have learned and will be looking into taking the Full Stack BI training. Thank You, Iris Bradshaw Quotes icon

Iris Bradshaw | Data Analyst | Qnnect | United States (Power BI Training)

Quotes icon I liked the pace and content of this introduction to Power BI. The instructor was able to quickly troubleshoot most issues that people had, although some problems did stall the pace quite a bit at times (participants really should have a strong Excel skillset and ability to manage files). Perhaps on a daily basis before the training , a quick 'setup' email would be helpful (which folders to create and which files to copy) so that everyone could set themselves up ahead of time. (Or include day-by-day setup instructions in the content zip file with this info.) On another note, I would like to have spent more time on publishing and refreshing published reports (and the Power BI workspace) instead of the SQL server mini course. As it was, though, the lessons we learned in this training will be almost immediately applied and the results should be very helpful to people in my organization looking for dashboard summaries of their data. Thank you. Quotes icon

This is a good course for a complete beginner, and would probably benefit some early intermediate students as well. My only complaint would be the amount of time needed to troubleshoot so many students' technical issues. We probably spend 40% of the total class time with Sami troubleshooting. It's not a knock on Sami or the course. Maybe a slightly smaller class would make it a little easier. Quotes icon

Overall really enjoyed the course. Nice balance between demos, guided practice and independent practice. I really enjoyed the exercises where criteria was displayed and we had 20 minutes to build it up. Content felt very heavy on dashboard creation with an accelerated run thru PowerQuery material in the last several days; I think this could be a bit more balanced. My company had 5 students with stronger use needs for automated data manipulation than db's. The SQL review on Day10 was a bit fuzzy, I couldn't quite follow the benefits or use cases where this would be relevant. I would recommend adding a 5min break to the middle of each session for biological needs; 2.5 hrs is a long shot for some folks. We spent about 5 minutes at the beginning of each lesson setting up the day's folder structure, copying over data sets, etc. Could eliminate this and replace with a break if the overall folder structure was distributed with data sets already loaded in place at start of course. I.e. send zipped structure with folders for Days 1-10, each containing the ""Project X - Dashboard"" subfolders with Sales.Data.csv, etc, already saved in place. Thanks for the experience! looking forward to applying the knowledge!

I had a little experience with Power BI prior to the class. The information given greatly expanded my knowledge and I am excited to put the knowledge to use. Sami's instructions were very easy to follow and he made sure to answer everyone's questions. The only issue I had with the course was with the students not the instructor or course itself. It was a bit frustrating when some of the students were not prepared (especially not having the system requirements installed) and we had to wait for them to download materials or software. Sami handled it professionally but it took away time that could have been used for training. Overall, I am very please with what I have learned and will be looking into taking the Full Stack BI training. Thank You, Iris Bradshaw

I liked the pace and content of this introduction to Power BI. The instructor was able to quickly troubleshoot most issues that people had, although some problems did stall the pace quite a bit at times (participants really should have a strong Excel skillset and ability to manage files). Perhaps on a daily basis before the training , a quick 'setup' email would be helpful (which folders to create and which files to copy) so that everyone could set themselves up ahead of time. (Or include day-by-day setup instructions in the content zip file with this info.) On another note, I would like to have spent more time on publishing and refreshing published reports (and the Power BI workspace) instead of the SQL server mini course. As it was, though, the lessons we learned in this training will be almost immediately applied and the results should be very helpful to people in my organization looking for dashboard summaries of their data. Thank you.

I recently completed the Power BI training, and it was an excellent learning experience. The course was well-structured, covering everything from basic visualization techniques to advanced DAX functions. The instructor was highly knowledgeable and explained complex concepts in a clear and practical manner.

Mariah Mayhew, Financial Analyst

Sami was a great instructor. He took the time to make sure everyone could follow along and understand the material. While I already had experience with Power BI prior to this course, it was still a great refresher. If you're new to Power BI this is a great course to take!

Regina King, Accounting Manager

Sami, our trainer, was really good. He was very thorough in explaining concepts as well as navigating the user interface. He kept a good pace while ensuring that nobody was left behind . I recommend this course.
