Advanced Visualisation with Power BI Training

Most Power BI problems look like visual problems and are model problems. A measure that double counts, a relationship pointing the wrong way, a date table that is really a column, and filter context nobody has thought about will produce a chart that is confidently wrong. The visual layer then has its own failures: dual axes that imply a relationship, truncated scales, and a page holding thirty numbers and no answer. This week covers both, in that order, on the delegate's own data where they can bring it.

It runs 6 times over the published calendar, in 6 cities. Every date is the same programme with the same content and the same certificate.

• Build a model with a proper date table and relationships that point the right way.
• Write measures that survive being sliced by something unexpected.
• Choose a chart that answers the question rather than decorating the number.
• Design a page around one decision rather than around available fields.
• Diagnose a figure that is wrong without rebuilding the report.

Analysts and reporting staff building Power BI reports, finance and operations staff who maintain dashboards, and managers who commission them.

Short input, then work. Across 5 days of roughly 6 teaching hours each, the balance sits deliberately with the second: a programme where the trainer talks for six hours produces notes rather than capability.

• Your own material

  Exercises run on situations delegates bring, not on a case study written for a different organisation in a different decade.

• A capped cohort

  Small enough that everybody is asked something. Executive programmes are capped tighter still.

• Practice under scrutiny

  The difficult conversation, the challenged assumption, the decision defended out loud. Judgement is not built by watching.

• Something to take back

  Each day ends with a thing you can use on Monday rather than a slide deck you will not reopen.

• A reviewed and corrected model for one of the delegate's own reports.
• A measure set with the filter context behaviour documented.
• A redesigned page built around a single decision.

A GATI certificate recording what you attended, issued after the programme has run and attendance has been taken. Attending at least 80 per cent of the days earns a certificate of completion; attending less earns a certificate of attendance stating exactly what was attended.

Every certificate carries a code that anybody can check against GATI's own record, which is what makes it worth holding. It records participation. This site will not imply one it does not have.
