Course Description
While Power BI Desktop is ideal for building locally-hosted data models and reports, Power BI Service -- its cloud-based counterpart -- is the go-to solution for publishing, collaborating, and sharing your work with the world.
This course provides a hands-on, guided tour through the Power BI Service platform. We'll cover core features like publishing to apps and workspaces, compiling dashboards, and configuring user roles, along with more advanced tools like gateways, scheduled refresh, dataflows, row-level security, data-driven alerts, and much more.
If you're ready to take your Power BI skills to the cloud, you've come to the right place.
