I was able to take pre-populated excel data and create a Power BI report from scratch with this walk-through guide for beginners. I had never done it before and now feel I could confidently recreate a report as needed based on custom requirements. I think this course is ideal for those who have never used Power BI and need a working knowledge of it quickly.
