This is a very good introductory course. It doesn’t drown you in details, explains the main concepts clearly, and guides you through plenty of hands-on practice. Surprisingly, it fits very well into the Boot.dev learning framework — props to the author and the technical team! Please note that this course requires Windows, which might be an issue for a minority of users. However, if you need to fiddle with a virtual machine setup, I’d say it’s worth it. This is a genuinely good course, so don’t

The Learn PowerBI course was both fun and informative. I had previous experience with PowerBI, but I was still very much a newbie. This course really set me on a better path with data modeling and visualization with PowerBI. Highly recommended.

Serves as a good introduction if you have never touched the software before.

The course gave a good overall picture but it was extremely easy. I'm not sure if that's because Power BI itself is simple to use but I would have appreciated more difficult challenges.

This course is well structured and easy to follow, with clear explanations and practical examples. I especially liked how it explains not only how to build Power BI dashboards but also why certain design and collaboration practices are important. The hands-on exercises helped reinforce the concepts, making them easier to understand and apply. I would recommend this course to beginners and anyone looking to build a strong foundation in Power BI and data visualization.
