This course starts with data transformation strategies, exploring capabilities in the Power Query Editor, and data-cleansing practices. It looks at the Advanced Query Editor to view the M language code. This course focuses on advanced DAX measures that include filtering conditions, with a deep dive into time intelligence measures. Like the M query language, DAX is a rich functional language that supports variables and expression references. This course also looks at the creation of dynamic dashboards and incorporates a range of visualisations available in Power BI Desktop and online in the AppSource. The course finishes with a look at setting up end user level security in tables. 1 The query editor Split by row delimiter AddDays to determine deadlines Advanced query editor 2 Fuzzy matching joins Matching inconsistencies by percentage Matching with transformation table 3 Logical column functions Logical functions IF, AND, OR Using multiple conditions Including FIND in functions 4 Editing DAX measures Make DAX easier to read Add comments to a measure Using quick measures 5 The anatomy of CALCULATE Understanding CALCULATE context filters Adding context to CALCULATE with FILTER Using CALCULATE with a threshold 6 The ALL measure Anatomy of ALL Create an ALL measure Using ALL as a filter Use ALL for percentage 7 DAX iterators Anatomy of iterators A closer look at SUMX Using RELATED in SUMX Create a RANKX RANKX with ALL 8 Date and time functions Overview of functions Create a DATEDIFF function 9 Time intelligent measures Compare historical monthly data Create a DATEADD measure Creating cumulative totals Creating cumulative measures Visualising cumulative totals 10 Visualisations in-depth Utilising report themes Create a heatmap Comparing proportions View trends with sparklines Group numbers using bins Setting up a histogram 11 Comparing variables Visualising trendlines as KPI Forecasting with trendlines Creating a scatter plot Creating dynamic labels Customised visualisation tooltips Export reports to SharePoint 12 User level security Setting up row level security Testing user security

About this Training Course The two elements which consistently remain in the forefront of every executive, tasked to manage a project, are 'Cost' and 'Time'. There is probably no disagreement or a need to prove that a strong correlation exists between Cost and Schedule. The mechanics of capturing cost during the execution is not that difficult a task, as it is when undertaking Design, Engineering, Estimating, Planning, Scheduling, and seeking financing for the project. The corporate management is expected to provide realistic, reliable and risks adjusted projections of a project's overall financial performance. This 3 full-day course and workshop is developed to make the delegates walk through the engineering formulas and equations to become a professional in managing estimates, projections, risks, uncertainties and secure financing for high value, high risk projects, from both On-shore and Offshore Oil & Gas industry segments. This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format. Training Objectives Objectives of this Training Course: This course and the workshops are developed for the participants to gain comprehensive understanding of the field of Cost Engineering and its impact on the project execution, financing and risk management. The underlying objectives are: Enhance familiarization with mechanics of cost engineering in developing budgets and Project Cost Models. Gain understanding of diversity in financing of EPC Projects in context of Offshore and Onshore Oil & Gas projects in international arena. Identify risks associated with cost estimates and costing elements, with an objective of developing project strategies and minimizing the exposure to escalation of prices and market factors. Appreciate the correlation between cost and schedule, resulting in the delivery of contractual obligations. Develop competency to manage risks of costs and time overrun, by implementing appropriate cost control mechanism.
