The second day as Power Bi is a really friendly tool, and clearly Costas knows it very well, it was really good to learn about that tool. Unfortunately we have to see Power pivot in excel first which is really not user friendly but definitely a must see first in order to understand how Power Bi works, and it makes Power Bi look super cool :)
