Power BI Essential Training (2023)

It's a deliberate on-ramp, not a reference: importing data, shaping it, building visuals and publishing a dashboard, in the order you'd actually do them. That makes it a strong first few hours if you just need to be productive — and a poor fit if you're after deep DAX, data modelling or a certification path, which it doesn't try to cover. Access comes with LinkedIn Learning ($29.99/month, or $19.99 billed annually, usually a free trial first), and many public libraries offer it free with a card; Power BI Desktop itself is free. One caveat: it's labelled a 2023 release, so the interface may look a little different from today's, though the core workflow is stable (as of 2026).

Power BI Essential Training is Helen Wall's roughly four-hour introduction to Microsoft Power BI on LinkedIn Learning. It's short and practical — built to get you from a blank screen to a working report quickly.
