Power BI training

Does anyone know of a great Power BI class? We have been tasked with learning how to do reports in Power BI but right now all we have is LinkedIn learning which has not proved to be enough fur us to really learn it

@Sue Christensen I did this to get to grips with it and it was a really thorough and clear tutorial (and free!):

@Sue Christensen In addition to these, learn.microsoft.com is also a great resource if you have access. It goes through all the Microsoft products.

@Sue Christensen above are all great resources I am also learning power bi; no real goal in mind just to be able to use it. Some nontraditional methods I am using for information is a combination of chat gpt / Microsoft co-pilot(active inside of Microsoft edge browser) and since I don't see it here YouTube searches have been awesome.

I'm taking a course on Gale Udemy which I accessed through my public library. I like that there are datasets that you can download and do hands on work. It's also divided into sections so I've blocked off time each week to complete a couple sections.

At the end there's a prep for an exam. I need to look into that more. It would be great to get a certification.

Next I'm going to take a course on PMP with the hopes of being prepared to take the exam to get certified.
