Data Analytics

A data analyst turns messy, scattered data into decisions people can act on. The job is not just building charts; it is asking the right question, finding trustworthy data, cleaning it, modelling it, and telling a story that changes what a business does next. Power BI is one of the most widely used tools for the middle and final stages of this work: modelling, calculation, visualisation, and sharing.

This guide walks through the full lifecycle a data analyst follows on a real project, maps each stage to concrete Power BI actions, then puts it all together into a complete dashboard project you can build yourself. The final sections show how to use AI — including Copilot inside Power BI and general-purpose assistants — to move faster at every stage.
