Power BI User Group Meeting - May 2018

Power BI User Group Meeting – May 2018

This is part 2 of the Project Professional Series we introduced at our April 2018 Meetup covering all things becoming a Power BI Professional. Our first series on Project Professional introduced the workshop, and now we are going to dive deeper in Data Discovery through the Query Editor!

Any project in BI starts with getting your data, and from discovering how to approach a BI Project to advanced methods to transform your data will be covered at this meetup. We will be going over different data sources to pull into Power BI to merging & appending data to get the data you need from the data you have. Make sure to bring your computer! Data for the meeting coming soon!
