Learn Power BI | Go from Data to Dashboard in 15 Minutes (full tutorial + project files included)

Microsoft Power BI is the #1 business intelligence tool on the planet.

Whether you’re a data professional or just getting started, Power BI can help you work faster, make smarter decisions, and significantly increase your earning potential.

And the best part? ANYONE can start learning Power BI in just a matter of minutes – for free!

In this demo, we’ll play the role of a Data Analyst for the Federal Aviation Administration 🛩️

We’ve been given access to a database containing nearly 2,000,000 commercial flights from major US airports, and our task is to use that data to understand which flights were delayed or canceled, and why.

Using Power BI, we’ll transform the raw data into a user-friendly, interactive dashboard to help stakeholders drill into flight delays and cancellations by airport, airline, day of week, and more.

Along the way, we’ll walk through each step of the business intelligence workflow:

✔️ Load and transform the raw data

✔️ Build a relational data model

✔️ Add calculated columns & DAX measures

✔️ Design a stunning, interactive dashboard

…all in less than 20 minutes!
