Power BI and Artificial Intelligence Course
Master Power BI from the ground up and layer in real artificial intelligence — from native AI visuals and natural language queries to Python-driven machine learning models. This course takes you from installation to enterprise deployment, covering DAX, Power Query, data modeling, and Azure ML integration. If you work with data and want results that actually drive decisions, this is your next move.
What you will learn:
You will build a complete Power BI skill set, starting with data connections and Power Query transformations, then advancing through relational modeling, DAX calculations, and professional report design. You will activate Power BI's built-in AI features, including Copilot, Q&A, and anomaly detection, and extend them with Python and R scripts for clustering, forecasting, and custom visuals. You will connect Power BI to Azure Machine Learning to score datasets with enterprise-grade models. Finally, you will publish and govern reports at scale using row-level security, dataflows, and performance optimization techniques.
