One of the benefits of this style of learning is you can listen to and learn from all the discussion and questions from other participants, even if you don’t have questions of your own.
You can choose to complete the course material any time based on your availability and time preferences, and you can attend any of the scheduled Q&A calls (see the Live Online Q&A Calls section below for the details).
The 1-hour live online Q&A calls will be held once every two weeks throughout the year.
There are two Q&A calls that run concurrently (Group 1 and Group 2), designed to cater for most time zones around the world.
You will receive a Zoom meeting invite for the Q&A calls in an upcoming month before the start of that month, which is for both Group 1 and Group 2. (There are typically 2 or 3 calls per month for both Group 1 and Group 2, making it to about 40 calls per year all together.)
You can attend whichever group call (Group 1 or 2) that you prefer.
You can email your questions along with any workbooks used one or two days earlier and those questions will be taken up during the Q&A call.
The Q&A calls will be recorded, and all the recordings will be shared with you after the call irrespective of whether you could make it to the call or not. You can download these recordings and keep them for your later reference.
Power BI for the Business Analyst Online is built on an annual subscription basis.
Your access is valid initially for one year, and you can choose to renew it annually at your own discretion.
You will have access to online videos, course materials and the live online Q&A calls for as long as your subscription is active.
(Please see the How Subscription Works section below for more information.)
Your registration includes digital copies of Matt Allington’s books, Supercharge Power BI and Supercharge Excel.
You can choose to use either book for your DAX learning. DAX skills are transferable between Power BI Desktop and Excel Power Pivot, with the difference being UI.
Power BI Desktop is more advanced than Excel in that it might include new DAX functions before Excel. But the DAX concepts remain the same.
The books will help you with more illustrations and practice exercises with DAX.
