About the Course
Today's organizations expect more than just reports; they demand actionable insights. Whether you're tracking program results, monitoring operations, or evaluating business performance, leaders require data that is clean, accurate, and easy to interpret.
This course demystifies SPSS and Power BI, transforming them from intimidating software tools into practical, everyday allies. You will not become a statistician or a full-time BI developer, but a confident user who can import, clean, and structure data, manipulate variables, and perform basic to intermediate analyses in SPSS. You will then learn to translate these results into meaningful dashboards and visuals in Power BI. You will learn to structure datasets, create calculated fields, manage missing data, segment and filter data, design interactive reports, and communicate trends and outliers visually.
This hands-on, application-focused course is tailored for professionals who need to transition quickly from raw data to decision-ready visual insights.
