Per-criterion
Power BI Essential Training
Solid coverage of the Power BI Desktop surface — Get Data, Power Query, basic modelling, intro DAX, visuals and publishing. Depth stops short of advanced DAX, row-level security and deployment pipelines.
Gini von Courter is one of LinkedIn Learning's most prolific Microsoft instructors with 250+ courses across Office, SharePoint and Power Platform. Reviewers describe her delivery as calm, methodical and enterprise-friendly.
Included in the LinkedIn Learning subscription (~$40/month) and bundled with LinkedIn Premium. HN commenters repeatedly flag US public-library access as the cheapest path. Power BI Desktop itself is free.
Coherent walkthrough of the everyday workflow — connect, shape in Power Query, model, write basic DAX, build visuals, publish. Stops short of advanced DAX, time intelligence and dataflows.
Power BI is the dominant BI tool in Microsoft-heavy enterprises and the common next step after Excel for finance, ops and analyst roles. Maps cleanly onto what a junior analyst builds week one.
