Business Central Reporting with Power BI: Fundamental & Advanced Training Courses

February 9, 2021 Amanda Sherry

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is capable of providing you with an extraordinary amount of data for your business – but that data is only useful if it is in the format that you understand and is useful for making business decisions. Microsoft Power BI integrates seamlessly with Business Central for consolidated business intelligence and insight.

Western Computer’s Power BI Training courses are the fastest way to ensure your employees know how to maximize the value of your data and your technology investments.
