Deservedly Five Star

This course has included so many modified features in delivering clearer insights of data for business leaders. Especially, it is quiet different in expressing details of business scenarios with Fixed LOD, which computes a value using the specified dimensions, without any reference to the dimensions in the visualization. It also evaluates data points and sums profits, annual sales and other different metrics with detailed expressions. The INCLUDE and EXCLUDE, features of the tool is extremely dynamic in changing different parameters of dataset for comparison purposes. Come and enjoy CFI, Business Intelligence & Data Analysis course.
