10 Tips Starting Out in Power BI

How I started using Power BI at work

Starting out in Power BI can be difficult – I remember it took me a few weeks to really dive into it and learn some of the basics. I was getting pretty good with Excel and kept running into problems with Pivot Tables.

I knew there had to be another way to analyze data – a faster way, a more organized way to answer questions from my managers.

This is when I started looking for answers online and came across Power BI.

Fast forward about 3 years later and I am now helping many of my friends learn about Power BI.
