Live Online Digital Transformation in Dashboards & BI (Power BI, Tableau) Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 800
Monthly reports that take days to assemble, conflicting versions of the same number and managers who cannot explore the data themselves are signs that reporting has not kept pace with the business. Modern business intelligence tools replace manual spreadsheets with refreshed, interactive views that people actually use. This five-day, laptop-based programme shows analysts and managers how to build and introduce them.
You connect to Excel, CSV files, databases and cloud sources, clean data in Power Query, and design star-schema models with relationships. In Power BI you write DAX measures, time intelligence and calculated columns, then publish to the service with row-level security and scheduled refresh. In Tableau you build calculated fields, level-of-detail expressions, parameters and interactive dashboards. Design sessions cover choosing visuals, layout, colour and storytelling, while governance sessions look at certified datasets, naming, access and adoption. It suits data and MIS analysts, finance and planning officers, monitoring and evaluation staff, programme and operations managers and IT teams supporting reporting. Classroom, online and in-house formats are available. Participants finish with a working dashboard built on their own kind of data and a rollout plan. A CPD-accredited certificate is awarded on completion.

About this course
Decision makers expect to see current performance at a glance and to drill into the reasons behind it. Organisations that still rely on emailed spreadsheets spend scarce analyst time on copying and reconciling figures, and they discover errors only after reports have been circulated. A move to a business intelligence platform is as much a change in working practice as a software purchase.
The Digital Transformation in Dashboards & BI (Power BI, Tableau) Training Course therefore teaches tools and practice together. Participants learn how to identify the questions a dashboard should answer, define indicators and prepare source data. They build dependable data models, create calculations in DAX and Tableau, and develop pages that load quickly and read cleanly on desktop and mobile. The later sessions focus on sharing: workspaces and permissions, refresh schedules, row-level security, version control and the habits that keep a report library trustworthy.
Everything is taught on the keyboard. Delegates use supplied sales, finance, programme and HR data sets, compare how the same problem is solved in each product, and complete a dashboard project accompanied by a short change plan for introducing BI in their own department.
Training Objectives
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Translate management questions into indicators, data requirements and dashboard designs.
- Import, clean and shape data from multiple sources using Power Query and Tableau Prep concepts.
- Design relational and star-schema data models for reliable analysis.
- Write DAX measures and Tableau calculations, including time intelligence and level-of-detail logic.
- Build interactive visuals, filters, drill-through and parameters.
- Apply visual design and storytelling principles to improve comprehension.
- Publish reports with security, scheduled refresh and appropriate access control.
- Plan an adoption roadmap with governance and user support.
