Power BI Desktop, The Basics

Instructor

Instructor Bio:

Hello there! My name is Nestor Adrianzen and I'll be your instructor. I'm a professional with over 5 years of experience in data analysis and data visualization. In July 2019, I created vizxlization ("Quipu Analytics" moving forward), an educational platform on Youtube, to share key lessons about Power BI, Tableau, and Excel with the world. All my content is uploaded to my YouTube channel @NestorAdrianzen. As of December 2023, over 20.4K subscribers are taking advantage of the tutorials. For these past three years, I have received great feedback about my lessons. As a result, I decided to create my first online course: Power BI Desktop, the Basics. Therefore, if you are one of those who never stop learning, please join me in this course. See you in class!
