There is data in every system, organization, and environment these days. The process of getting insight from the data is not only for data analysts anymore. By the time you send the data to the analyst, explain the business logic to them, and ask them to build the report and dashboard, your requirements might have changed.

In this world, getting insightful information (reports and dashboards) out of any data is fortunately possible with tools such as Power BI Desktop. You don’t have to know about Databases, development, or business intelligence to build your report and dashboard. Anyone can do this. It is going to be one of the essential skills in any job these days to be able to analyze the data. Even if you are not a data analyst, you are operating in part of a business that is dealing with data, and what would be more useful than being able to generate insightful information and dashboards from that data and make informed decisions.

This 1-day workshop is designed to get you from the ground zero of using Power BI into being able to build reports and dashboards easily using Power BI. The workshop starts with connecting to the data sources, preparing the data, transforming it, cleaning the data, and removing unnecessary parts of the data using Power Query. It then continues with modeling the data, building data entities (tables), creating logical relationships between them, and applying business rules using calculations in DAX language in Power BI. It then gets to the visualization part of the data, the art of building an insightful report and dashboard that brings the information right in front of the decision-makers' attention. Finally, the course finishes with the process of publishing the report, sharing it with other users, and scheduling it so that the data gets automatically updated without a manual process.

This workshop covers the topic below but is not limited to it;

Connect to data sources and prepare and transform the data using Power Query
Create the data model (Semantic model) in Power BI Desktop with relationships between tables
Create the business logic calculation using the DAX language
Build insightful visualization in the Power BI report
Publish, share, and schedule the report for automatic updates

Reza Rad, the author of more than 13 bestseller books on Power BI and Data Analytics, is an international speaker and trainer who will be teaching this course. He has developed the most comprehensive Power BI training program worldwide, and he has been teaching Power BI to thousands in the past decade.

Days: Oct 10 Location: CPE credits: 8 Learning Objectives:

• Explain the Fabric IQ landscape and how Ontology provides governed, consistent business definitions for AI-powered analytics.
• Prepare a Power BI semantic model for AI by selecting fields, adding descriptions, writing instructions, and creating verified answers, using Copilot for DAX to accelerate development.
• Build and configure a Fabric Data Agent connected to your semantic model, and understand how agents extend to Teams and M365 through Copilot Studio.

You've built the semantic model. You've tuned the DAX. Your reports are solid. But your users don't want to dig through reports. They want to ask questions and get answers.

Microsoft is betting big on AI with Fabric IQ. But the demos make it look easy. In reality, getting your semantic model to respond accurately takes deliberate preparation that most people skip.

This hands-on workshop is built for Power BI practitioners who want to make their data talk. You'll start by understanding the Fabric IQ landscape, including how Ontology defines the semantic backbone that makes AI responses consistent and governed. Then you'll get hands-on, taking a real semantic model through the full journey from static reporting to conversational analytics:

• Preparing your semantic model for AI using the "Prep data for AI" features in Power BI Desktop
• Using Copilot for DAX to accelerate measure development
• Adding descriptions, instructions, and verified answers that make AI responses accurate
• Testing with "Chat with your data" in Power BI Service
• Building and configuring a Fabric Data Agent
• Seeing how agents extend to Teams, M365 Copilot, and Excel through Copilot Studio

You'll leave with a working Data Agent, a clear understanding of how Fabric IQ governs your AI layer, and a repeatable process for making any semantic model conversational.

• Tracing data quality issues: practical steps to identify root causes and prevent future data quality-induced headaches
• Building efficient data warehouse tables from common F/SCM entities: While specific requirements vary, most organizations need to build certain core dimension and fact tables such as vendor, customer, fiscal calendar, and GL transaction data. We'll cover how to build the most common ones from the "raw materials" provided by Fabric Link. 
• Avoiding common pitfalls and "gotchas" across the data pipeline, such as OData usage & enums

Leave with a shared vocabulary, practical architecture patterns, and immediately actionable strategies both roles can use to collaborate more effectively together.

Days: Oct 11 Location: CPE credits: 8 Learning Objectives:

• Architect a unified data foundation:
• Leverage AI & Copilot for productivity
• Build end-to-end analytics solution

Let’s be honest: The modern data stack has become a bit of a mess. You’ve got tools for storage, tools for cleaning, tools for reporting, and a whole lot of duct tape holding it all together.

It’s time to unify!

Welcome to the Fabric Fast Track. This isn’t a day of dry PowerPoint slides; it’s a full-throttle, hands-on deep dive into Microsoft Fabric - the all-in-one platform that’s changing how we work with data. I'm going to show you how to stop "managing tools" and start delivering actual value with a foundation built for the age of AI.

What are we building?

* OneLake: The "OneDrive" for Data: Say goodbye to data silos. We’ll show you how to land your data in one place where everyone (who’s allowed) can actually find it.

* The Lakehouse & beyond: We’ll move from raw data to refined insights faster than you thought possible, using the best of modern engineering without the headache.

* AI-first analytics: This is the "secret sauce"! We’ll explore how Copilot and built-in AI features, such as data agents, help you write DAX, generate Python code, and find patterns automatically.

* Power BI on steroids: See how Fabric takes your reporting to the next level with Direct Lake, meaning your reports stay lightning-fast, no matter how much data you throw at them.

Who is this for?

If you’re a Data Analyst tired of waiting for exports, a Business Intelligence pro ready to level up, or a Data Engineer looking for a more streamlined way to work, this workshop is for you. We’re starting with the basics and ending with AI-driven insights.

The future of data is here, and it’s a lot less complicated than you think. Let's get to work!

• Apply existing Power BI, Power Query, and DAX skills within Microsoft Fabric to design analytics solutions that scale beyond individual reports.
• Implement modern data workflows using Dataflows Gen2, Fabric Pipelines, and Direct Lake mode, structured with the Medallion Architecture for reliability and maintainability.
• Develop an architectural mindset to design analytics platforms that teams can trust, extend, and operate over time.

You've built dashboards. You've written DAX. You know Power Query inside and out. But you've hit a ceiling: your reports work, but they don't scale. Data refreshes break. Sources multiply. Teams need more than you can deliver alone.

You've heard Microsoft Fabric is the answer. But knowing the features isn't the same as knowing how to get there. This workshop is built for Power BI practitioners who want to take what they already know and put it to work, architecting real solutions that scale with where their organization is headed.

In this hands-on workshop, you'll work through the patterns that turn report builders into analytics engineers:

• Ingesting data into Fabric using Dataflows Gen2 and the Power Query skills you already have
• Transforming and layering data using the Medallion Architecture (Raw, Transformed, Curated) for reliability and maintainability
• Orchestrating automated workflows with Fabric Pipelines
• Connecting Power BI to Fabric using Direct Lake mode for real-time reporting

You'll leave thinking like an architect, ready to build analytics platforms instead of standalone reports.
