Overview

This course introduces learners to the practical use of Copilot across Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, demonstrating how AI assistance can streamline common data engineering and analytical workflows. Learners explore how Copilot supports data transformation in Dataflow Gen2, helps automate data pipeline tasks, contributes to building notebooks, and generates queries for data warehouses and SQL-based environments. The course also shows how Copilot enhances report creation in Power BI and enables conversational interaction with organisational data through Fabric data agents.

The content is designed to help learners work more efficiently in their existing roles rather than teaching data engineering or data analysis from first principles.
