We live and work in an increasingly data rich world. Therefore, it is essential we can visualise data to portray the message we want. This session will take and apply a number of authentic examples and use Microsoft PowerBI Desktop (a free application) to tell our data story. By the end of the session, we'll have developed some transferable skills on storytelling within data through PowerBI.​​

We will consider what you may be trying to do with the data you have, what you want your audience to take away, and how to create some cool visualisations in PowerBI.​​

This is a session for beginners. A further session ‘Further Developing Your Data Analysis Skills’ is also available for those with some experience of PowerBI, including those who have completed this session.​
