this course is irrlevant for Power BI,best apps for these analysis are Sage,Quickbook,Xero and other accounting apps with loads other automated features and invoices and payments.

The DAX formulas were too ridiculously complicated. Why would anyone spend hours on Power BI when most of this could be done in Excel in a few minutes? When we have created something, we want to be able to troubleshoot it easily or allow other users to review it, just in case there were errors. I gave up after Module 5. I would not recommend the practice in this course in the real world.

The Power BI Essentials for Finance Analysts course by CFI is outstanding. The instructor demonstrates exceptional clarity and quality in their explanations, making even complex concepts easy to understand. The lecture content is very well structured, with an excellent balance between theory and practice and an adequate level of detail throughout. The rhythm of the course is exceptional—engaging, efficient, and never overwhelming. The practical cases are particularly strong and highly relevant, allowing you to immediately apply what you learn to real-world finance scenarios. I have completed other certifications that include SQL, such as the Google Data Analytics certificate, and I can confidently say this is the best SQL fundamentals course I have taken by a clear margin. The difference lies in how clearly the concepts are taught and how effectively they are applied in practical examples. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learnr Power BI and SQL skills for sales or finance.

The step-by-step videos and explanation of DAX measures was explained clearly without using much jargon, which facilitated learning the concepts and formulas.

I am Waleed Abdullah (CA Finalist) I found this course very helpful as a financial analyst.

Extra-Ordinary Course Content!

Unfortunately, one of the modules is impossible to complete in practice. The Excel files provided are corrupted or contain broken Data Models, which prevent any access to Power Pivot, Power Query, or PivotTables. Attempting to open the Data Model immediately triggers MDX errors and “Data Model is damaged” messages. As a result: - Practical exercises relying on the Data Model cannot be executed. - There is no way to work around the issue within Excel. - The lack of support or any method to obtain a working file makes completing the course tasks technically unfeasible. Additionally, the speaker uses the outdated version of PowerBi, so be ready to google solutions rather than take the course directly.
