OVERVIEW

Ad-hoc Analysis (Power BI and SSAS) training for Planview Portfolios teaches how organizations can perform dynamic analysis and create interactive reports on projects, resources, and financial data to meet the reporting needs of the organization.

This course provides mastery of online analytical process (OLAP) reporting and interactive navigation capabilities to easily understand current and trend-based business performance, change parameters, and add metrics with the click of a button. Power BI allows non-technical users to create analytics and dashboards by themselves, without the need for technical report development skills or a technical understanding of the data structure. Users can create interactive dashboards with drill down functionality in minutes. This will allow you to quickly provide answers to analytical queries that are multi-dimensional in nature for complex analytical and ad hoc queries.
