Course Outline:
This course, Power BI for Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Analytics, is designed to help construction professionals harness the power of Autodesk's Data Connector and Power BI for project reporting and insights. Participants will learn how to export and structure data from ACC modules like Forms, Issues, RFIs, and Cost, and then clean, model, and visualize that data in Power BI. The course covers best practices for building dashboards that track safety compliance, issue resolution, cost performance, and project health. Through hands-on exercises, users will also learn how to create calculated metrics using DAX, automate data refreshes, and share dashboards with stakeholders. By the end, attendees will be equipped to build dynamic, data-driven dashboards using only Data Connector exports—no coding or APIs required.
