I found out a couple of weeks ago that I will speaking at the Orlando SQL Saturday for the first time in many years. Then this weekend, I found out that I will also be delivering a full day Pre-Conference on Friday October 9, Transforming and Visualizing Data with Power BI. What an honor this is.

This is a hands-on lab, in which you will have the opportunity to not only learn about Power BI, but also take the knowledge you learn and test it out immediately.

Registration for the session and all the details about the course can be found here:

Here is the session description:

Title:

Transforming and Visualizing Data with Power BI

Most of us are overwhelmed with data from all the different applications that we use on a daily basis. Bringing all the data together is often a very time-consuming and sometimes a challenging process. Even further, attempting to analyze and visualize the data poses new challenges that is sometime difficult or impossible to overcome. Now with Power BI this can all be made very simple. Individuals, ranging from novice information workers to advanced IT professionals can quickly and easily transform, analyze and visualize data using a single tool.

I will be covering four main topics:

• Shaping and Transform Data from Different Sources
• Create a Single Data Model
• Visualizing Data with Reports
• Using the Power BI Service to Create and Share Dashboards

Again this is a hand-on lab so bring you laptops.

See you in Orlando
