Professionals working in budgeting, forecasting, auditing, and performance analysis know that the ability to interpret and visualize data isn’t just a good thing to have—it’s essential.

We’re thrilled to announce a new teaching resource: the Microsoft Power BI Module, coming soon to MyEducator’s platform! This interactive, turn-key resource is designed for instructors, trainers, and organizations who want to help their students or employees move beyond spreadsheets and into one of today’s most powerful business tools, used to explore, analyze, and communicate insights from real-world financial and accounting data.

Why Microsoft Power BI Matters—For Both Classrooms and Companies

Data literacy isn’t just for analysts anymore. Across industries, professionals are being asked to interpret data and make informed decisions every day.

• For students, this module builds valuable career skills that employers look for as graduates enter the workforce.
• For employees, this module provides guided, self-paced learning that can help lead teams to make more data-informed decisions, enhance reporting, and really visualize the data.

What Does the Microsoft Power BI Module Offer?

The Microsoft Power BI Module introduces learners to the basics of the Power BI software program, which transforms raw data into dynamic visuals and provides clear insights that assist in business decision-making.

Learners will gain skills to do the following:

• Connect, clean, and shape data with Power Query
• Create data, integrate insights, and perform relational modeling
• Add calculated fields and measures with DAX, Power BI’s formula-based analytic language
• Build dynamic visual reports used to communicate business insights

Just like other MyEducator resources, the Microsoft Power BI Module includes plenty of instruction and application material:

• Comprehensive instructional text
• Process slide decks
• Guided step-by-step video tutorials
• Practice datasets
• Check-Your-Work files
• Auto-graded review questions
• Application exercises

This module can be used as part of a university course, a professional development program, or a company-wide training initiative. The content is both practical and user-friendly, and the added hands-on work—follow-along practice datasets and scenario exercises—prepare learners well for real-world application.

Incorporating the Module into Your Curriculum or Your Company’s Continuing Education Opportunities

The Microsoft Power BI Module is intended to integrate into existing learning environments, whether that’s a college course, a professional certification, or a corporate training program. It fits in well with the following:

• Business analytics and information systems courses
  (Such as Business Analytics, Introduction to Python Data Analytics, and Advanced Data Analytics for Organizations.)
