Frequently asked questions

Data Storytelling refers to the process one conducts in a business environment where they do extensive research and modeling of data based on the principle that every piece of data tells a story, which can help an organization make intelligent decisions to amplify productivity and generate results. Storytelling in Power BI covers all the insightful results one gains and presents them to wider audiences.

Power BI is a Business Intelligence (BI) tool developed by Microsoft. It is used for data analysis, visualization, and sharing insights from various sources. Power BI allows users to connect to multiple data sources, including databases, spreadsheets, cloud services, and online data sources, and then transform and model the data to create interactive reports and dashboards. Most of the time, these stories are designed to follow as data interweaves between rich visual formats and insights.

This course is designed for freshers who are novices in Power BI and working professionals aiming for the role of Business Analyst, Data Analyst, etc. The main aim is to use Power BI data story to create impactful visuals.
