Advanced Power BI Masterclass Training in Singapore

Ready to push Power BI well beyond the basics? This Advanced Power BI course in Singapore is built for analysts who already create reports and want to master the techniques that separate good dashboards from great ones — advanced DAX, time intelligence, performance tuning, row-level security, and AI-driven visuals.

Over two intensive, hands-on days you will deepen your data modelling, write sophisticated calculations, optimise sluggish reports, and build polished, secure dashboards that management can rely on. The course is led by Vinai Prakash, who brings decades of data-analysis and business-intelligence experience.

What You Will Learn

• Write advanced DAX measures for richer, more flexible analysis.
• Apply advanced Power Query techniques to shape and combine complex data.
• Implement row-level security to control who sees what.
• Optimise data models to keep them small, fast, and reliable.
• Import custom visuals and create Python or R visualizations.
• Use KPI cards, gauges, AI visuals, Quick Measures, and advanced time-intelligence comparisons.

Who Should Attend

• Business analysts and data professionals with a working knowledge of Power BI.
• Report builders who want stronger visualization and analysis skills.
• Anyone ready to take Power BI from intermediate to advanced level.

Prerequisites

• Basic Power BI knowledge, including importing data and writing simple DAX measures.
