Knowledge prerequisites
We recommend this course for intermediate Power BI. Before starting this course, please make sure you have a report created by completing the following CDF & Power BI courses.

Technical prerequisites

  • You will need the Power BI application to follow along with the course. You can download it here. Note that you need the November 2021 version (or later) of the Power BI Desktop. To automatically stay updated with the latest version, download Power BI Desktop from the Microsoft Store. Power BI is currently only supported for Windows. If you use a Mac, you will need to run Windows on your computer with the help of a virtual machine or parallel like Boot Camp.
  • In addition, you need to be a Pro user on the Power BI Service. To get a Pro license, you may need to talk with your IT team, but if you don't already have one, you can start a trial period through the Power BI landing page.
  • In this course, you will be alternating between two windows: this e-learning course and Power BI. Therefore we suggest using two screens if possible to make switching windows easier.
