"The skills projected to grow the fastest include advanced analytical competencies—such as Data Science and Machine Learning—as well as Data Visualization–related skills and basic analytical tools, such as Pivot Tables in Excel, that are increasingly required across job categories."

To propel you on your way to "DAX Data Dominance", my latest course in the 10 Easy Steps series will teach you how to create data visualisations in the form of interactive Dashboard Reports that uses DAX Power Pivot and Pivot Charts.

 Description & What You Will Learn

  • The course begins with creating the Power Pivot Data Model

  • You will draw on your experience of DAX Power Pivot by creating relationships, calculated columns, measures and KPI's

  • Throughout your studies, I share Top-Tips I use to acquire the real KPI’s stakeholders expect - leaving the guess work out and limiting the chances of Dashboard rejection

  • With a clear view and plan of action, you enter the next phase and begin building each element of the Dashboard with Pivot Charts and Reference Tables displaying key metrics and revealing hidden trends

  • Slicers, Timelines and Sparklines enhance the user experience presenting the data in an automated, dynamic format and Text Cells provide added value that all stakeholders and end users have come to expect

  • Having the skills to adapt to stakeholder demands will be handled with ease and confidence as you learn how to create “negative” Column and Bar Charts and “Scrollable Tables” for when Dashboard space is limited or when the brief changes

  • Take advantage of MS Excel's pre-formatted Themes to maintain consistency and standards

  • You will learn how to Lock Down the Dashboard ready for publication

  • Code simple VBA to tie the Named Ranges and Macro to automate Sparkline update

You will create and build the Dashboard as you progress. To help consolidate, reinforce and embed your learning you will complete practice exercises throughout the course and complete quizzes to test your understanding of key concepts.

With your new skills nailed and your confidence levels soaring, the course ends with a fun Dashboard Challenge assignment and an opportunity to test your Dashboarding skills

Here's what others have said about the course:

"Good course - well thought out and presented. I like the fact that Gilly provides a work along manual with which to follow. That's the biggest plus. She's taken the time to create this material - use it as you follow along with her - its a great reference.  The mini quiz at the end of each chapter helps to reinforce the concepts which were covered. The practice exercises at the end of each chapter along with her review of those exercises further help reinforce what is being taught.  Her work is well thought out, presented in an easy and enjoyable format and at the end - you feel confident with what you have learned"

"Gilly’s, Latest Addition, DAX Dashboard Design  in her 10 Easy Steps Series courses continues to build off of the previous courses bringing your skill levels up to become extremely efficient in excel. If you already know some PowerPivot and PowerQuery you can start right off with this course DAX Dashboard Design to learn dashboard techniques and procedures to tie it all together.   Gilly is a brilliant teacher who clearly has a in-depth understanding of how power pivot, and power Query works and is able to break it down and simplifies it so you know how it works and understand how to use it in your day-to-day data analytics  If you will follow along and do the exercises when you’re done with a lesson you fully understand how to implement and use the power pivot and PowerQuery and Dax function for all your data work and dashboards to the fullest creating amazing reports. I highly recommend Gilly courses. Well done, thanks"
