R for Power BI Users II

Enhance your Power BI reports and analysis with R's visualization, text analysis and statistical modeling capabilities.

An outline of this training course

There are two main ways that the R language can create a huge impact on your Power BI reports — through statistical analysis and through data visualizations. Because it is open source, you can gain access to over 20,000 custom analyses and visualization options that are not available through Power BI alone.

R for Power BI Users II is a natural progression from the first course. We'll use many of the same packages such as ggplot2 for data visualization and tidymodels for statistical modeling. This course also includes new topics such as how to work with large datasets or text data which can prove particularly useful for Power BI development.


What are needed to take this course

If you have no previous R experience, we highly suggest taking the R for Power BI Users I course. If you've worked with R before, it's a good idea to be familiar with the basics of descriptive and inferential statistics.

"I've found DAX really hard, but it makes far more sense now. The explanations are clear and more simplified than I've read and watched elsewhere which is what I needed. The examples are great too." - Scott T. - Michigan "I've been looking for resources like this everywhere but couldn't find any. So good to have these all in one place, with detailed explanations on how to build this myself. Seriously awesome stuff." - Renee M. - Melbourne "I just started learning Power BI with the courses on this page and they are awesome and easy to follow and understand, even if English is not your origin language.." - Álvaro, Chile

Sam's extensive experience in building BI tools means the tutorials and webinars are always relevant and always hit the mark. Enterprise DNA is a 5* resource - I highly recommend."- David Nightingale, Johannesburg South Africa "I came across Enterprise DNA through one of the free YouTube videos. After getting a lot of valuable info for free, I felt ready to dig deeper into PowerBi in general and DAX in particular, and the membership here certainly has given me good value for money therefore I highly recommend signing a membership." - Erik Jacobsen, Scandinavian "I have been in the Analytics and Data Warehouse space for about 20 years and have been a serious advocate of Power BI from it’s inception. I am excited to become a member of this forum, having review as many of Sam’s vidoes as I could and have enefited significantly from his tutelage." - Brad - Canada
