Summary
|
Big data applications are infiltrating businesses of all sizes at high speed, and this is
mainly being driven by a set of emerging tools that make developing such applications
easy. This seminar provides a hands-on introduction to one such tool, Microsoft Power
BI, which has been developed with Excel users in mind. Power BI should be in the
toolbox of every CPA! You do not need to be an IT specialist to learn it! This seminar
will provide a good understanding of what Power BI can do for you and it will help
you get started with your own projects.
