Your dashboard is a spreadsheet somebody emails on Mondays.
The monthly report is a spreadsheet. Someone spends two days assembling it, emails it, and by the time anyone reads it the numbers have moved. Everyone knows this is bad, and it continues because the alternative requires a skill nobody has.
This workshop builds that skill from zero. Participants connect to their real data, clean it on the way in, build a model, and produce a report that other people can explore without asking anyone. The refresh happens on its own, which is the entire point.
Operations, finance, and analytics leaders use this where reporting is manual and the reporter is a bottleneck. It suits teams who have outgrown Excel for reporting but have no analytics background. Managers who read dashboards rather than build them want Power BI for Data-Driven Decision Makers instead.
Content, datasets, and examples are built around your actual work before delivery. Most groups train live online, and on-site in-person delivery is available by request. This workshop is available by request only, with a three participant minimum, and sits alongside our other data analytics and data literacy workshops.

Course outline
How the workshop runs
Every session is live with a real instructor, and the exercises are built around your team's work.
The first sessions are data, which is most of the work and the part every tutorial rushes. Participants connect to files, folders, databases, and services, then clean and reshape on the way in rather than after. They learn why the transformation step is where a dashboard is really built.
The middle is modeling. Participants learn why one flat table will not answer the questions they care about, how tables relate, and how to build a model that supports the analysis rather than fighting it. They write their first calculations, and learn the difference between a measure and a column, which is the concept that trips up nearly everyone.
The final sessions are the report itself and publishing. Participants build visuals that answer a question rather than decorate a page, add interactivity so a manager explores instead of requesting, and publish so it refreshes on a schedule. They leave with a working dashboard on their own data.

Microsoft Office training
Microsoft Office training for employees
Excel is the tool most teams use every day and the one fewest people were ever taught. DWC builds Microsoft Office training for employees in levels, from beginner foundations through advanced Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, SharePoint, and Power BI, so each person starts where they are and every session uses your own files.
Combine workshops into a Microsoft Office skills program for new hires, a single department, or a whole team moving work into Microsoft 365.
Can you customize this workshop for our team?
Yes. Content, datasets, and examples are built around your actual work before delivery, so participants practice on the files, tools, and situations they deal with every day.

Is there a minimum group size?
