Power BI: From Data to Dashboard
Learn to load, shape, model, and visualise data — and deliver reports your stakeholders actually use. Built by practitioners, not educators.

Most Power BI courses teach you where the buttons are. That is not the problem.
You can follow a tutorial, reproduce the steps, and still not know why your report breaks when the data changes. You get the output without the understanding — and that gap shows up every time something goes wrong.
- You finish a tutorial and still cannot structure a real data model from scratch
- Your dashboards look fine but you are not confident they are correct
- You know the tool — you just do not know how professionals think about the data behind it
This course teaches the thinking, not just the clicks.
By the end of this course, you will build a complete, interactive Power BI report — from raw data to published dashboard — and understand every decision you made along the way.
- Load and clean data using Power Query — no code required
- Build a data model that works correctly and scales
- Create visuals that communicate clearly, not just look good
- Add filters, slicers, and drill-throughs your stakeholders will actually use
- Publish and share reports with confidence
DAX is introduced in context — enough to power your first real KPIs. Advanced DAX is its own discipline and covered in a separate course.
Built from 12 years of real delivery — not a classroom.
GijzenDMA designs and delivers data platforms for companies across logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and finance. This course packages that practitioner knowledge into structured lessons — the same approach we use in client engagements, taught step by step.
No theory for its own sake. Every concept in this course exists because it solves a real problem we have seen in the field.

What you will learn
01 Power BI foundations 4 lessons
What Power BI is, how it works as a system, and the three-layer mental model you will use throughout the course.
02 Loading and shaping data with Power Query 7 lessons
Connect to data, clean it, reshape it, and load it correctly. The foundation every report depends on.
03 Data modeling 5 lessons
Build a star schema model with proper relationships and a date table. The step most business users skip — and why their reports break.

Choose the right visual, format it professionally, and introduce DAX measures in context to power your KPIs.
05 Filtering, slicers and interactivity 4 lessons
Make your reports interactive. Slicers, drill-throughs, cross-filtering, and navigation — the features that make stakeholders self-sufficient.
06 Publishing and sharing 3 lessons
