Data Analyst

AI/BI for Data Analysts

This course teaches data analysts how to design, build, publish, and operate AI/BI Dashboards in Databricks. AI/BI Dashboards combine governed Unity Catalog data with interactive visualizations, filters, and Genie integration so business users can explore answers without writing code.

The course follows a single end-to-end build. You start with source tables in Unity Catalog and finish with a published, monitored multi-page dashboard. Along the way you learn how dashboards fit into the broader Databricks AI/BI product family and where Genie, datasets, visualizations, and filters each fit in the workflow.

The content covers:

• AI/BI Dashboard fundamentals and how they relate to Genie and the rest of the Databricks platform.

• Exploring source data in Unity Catalog and designing reusable dashboard datasets with SQL.

• Authoring visualizations (KPIs, trends, breakdowns) and laying out a clean multi-page dashboard.

• Using Genie Code to draft SQL, charts, and filters from natural language prompts.

• Adding filters to make dashboards interactive and responsive to viewer questions.

• Publishing, sharing, and managing permissions so the right people can view and edit the dashboard.

• Running the dashboard in production with scheduled refresh, caching, and usage monitoring.
