Event Details

In this workshop, you'll learn which languages each presentation layer tool supports and the basic syntax used by each language. You'll also learn how take advantage of query builder tools to help you produce queries until you've developed the proficiency to create more complex queries on your own.
You'll also learn how to work with expressions to add calculations to cubes and PowerPivot workbook, and how to use expressions to customize the appearance of reports, scorecards, and dashboards.
