Understanding the Power BI Workflow

This lesson introduces the practical Power BI workflow used to turn raw business data into useful reports. You will learn how work typically moves from connecting to data, shaping it in Power Query, building a model, creating calculations, designing report pages, and publishing results for others to use.

The goal is not to master every tool in one lesson. Instead, you will build a clear mental map of where each major Power BI activity belongs, so later lessons on data preparation, modelling, DAX, visuals, and sharing feel connected rather than isolated.
