SUMMARY:Intro to Power BI: Easy interactive reports
DESCRIPTION:[Online] Power BI is a dynamic data visualization tool from 
 Microsoft that allows you to connect to data sources\, structure data 
 models\, and create interactive reports. Many analysts choose Power BI for 
 its user-friendly interface\, integration with other Microsoft products\, 
 and relative affordability. This workshop will cover the basics of how to 
 import data\, use simple functions to establish a data model\, and build a 
 variety of interactive visuals (e.g.\, bars\, lines\, maps\, tables\, and 
 cards). You'll also learn how to publish\, export\, and share your reports. 
 This event is open to non-Duke participants.\n\nThis workshop is designed 
 for beginners who might be comfortable with data and spreadsheets\, but 
 have no experience with Power BI\, are curious about what it can do\, and 
 want to get a quick introduction so they can start playing on their 
 own.\n\nExpectations: \n\n\n	If you're going to play along with the 
 exercises\, you'll have an easier time if you have two monitors. (Some 
 people get by with one\, but it's harder to watch me perform steps and do 
 them at the same time if you only have one screen.)\n	You will be expected 
 to arrive with Power BI Desktop already installed on the machine you're 
 Zooming from if you want to work along with me or do the exercises during 
 the workshop!\n	\n		Power BI Desktop is free and available to download from 
 the Microsoft store (for Windows only\; Mac users see instructions below). 
 Please download\, install\, and use the desktop app and not the online 
 version.\n		Power BI licenses are not free\, but many Duke students\, 
 faculty\, and staff have a Pro license included with their Microsoft 365 
 subscription. You can check your license type by visiting powerbi.com\, 
 signing in\, and clicking your account icon in the upper right corner. If 
 you do not have a Pro or Premium license through Duke\, you may choose to 
 try the 60-day free trial. \n		Mac users: Power BI Desktop is only 
 available on Windows machines. Mac users with valid Duke credentials can 
 access Power BI Desktop from a Windows computer on campus or through a 
 remote desktop connection on your own machine. Please fill outthis form by 
 Monday\, September 29th if you plan to use a remote connection and we will 
 check out a Virtual Computing Manager (VCM) for you. \n	\n	\n\n\nA zoom 
 link will be sent via email to registered participants to join the 
 workshop.\n\nThe content of the workshop may be recorded. If you are 
 uncomfortable with a recording being published\, please contact the 
 instructor at anytime prior to the conclusion of the workshop.\n\nData
