Introduction to Power BI

Across four chapters you load and shape data in the Power Query Editor, build the core visualisations, and put together a simple report — enough to see whether Power BI clicks for you before committing more time. It stays at the introductory level, so if you want serious DAX and modelling or you're working toward the PL-300 certification, this is a starting point, not the destination. The course rides on DataCamp's subscription (about $14/month billed annually, first chapter free), while Power BI Desktop itself is free on Windows, so there's no tool cost to try what you learn (as of 2026).

Introduction to Power BI is DataCamp's foundational, browser-based course in Microsoft's business-intelligence tool. Across four chapters you load and transform data with the Power Query Editor, build core visualizations, and assemble interactive reports — all in DataCamp's in-browser environment, so there's nothing to install.
