- [Gini] Hi, I'm Gini von Courter.

In this course I'll show you how to use Power BI Desktop,

the offline design tool used to create data models,

reports, and dashboards.

We'll begin with a quick overview of business intelligence,

including Power BI's place in that,

and then we'll begin using Power BI Desktop

to retrieve, model, and visualize data,

to create and publish reports

that you can share with your colleagues.

We'll connect to data from files,

databases, the web, even from social media.

We'll use the query editor

to shape and transform our data model,

create multi-page reports using graphs,

text-based tiles, maps, and slicers,

then publish and share it all on powerbi.com.

This is a tool that helps you model,

visualize, and share insights within your organization.

Learning Power BI Desktop

will give you an edge over other employees

who are trying to analyze your business data

using tools that are less powerful or less collaborative.

Please join me as we explore

using Power BI Desktop to make a positive impact

for you, your team, and your organization.
