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.
Note: Databricks Academy is transitioning to a notebook-based format for classroom sessions within the Databricks environment, discontinuing the use of slide decks for lectures. You can access the lecture notebooks in the Vocareum lab environment.
