The Dashboard in a Day (DIAD) is a training event that we host in collaboration with Microsoft to educate professionals on how they can use Power BI in their businesses. Throughout the entire year, we organized free one-day workshops that were designed for beginners as well as users with intermediate level skills and the goal was to give all the attendees a solid foundational knowledge of Power BI and a working dashboard of their data.
