In Mardan, agriculture-linked businesses, sugar and food processing, local traders and educational institutions generate steady reporting work. The staff member who can turn raw files into a reliable report soon becomes the person everyone asks.
Accountech’s online Power Query and Power BI course gives you a method for exactly this. Prepare the data, model it, write measures and design a report that refreshes instead of being rebuilt. Learning the stages in sequence means you understand why a number is right, not just how to draw it.
You will need comfortable spreadsheet skills before you start. If formulas and pivot tables need practice, begin with Advanced Excel training or the MS Office course, and see the wider Excel training options across Pakistan if you prefer to compare paths.
Below is the module list for the Power Query and Power BI course. It starts with getting data in and cleaning it, moves through modelling and DAX, and ends with dashboards and a final project, so a learner in Mardan can see exactly where each skill fits.
You start by understanding where each tool fits, then connect to your first data sources and learn to read the Power Query editor.
This module covers the daily cleaning jobs that eat up analysts’ time, done once as repeatable steps instead of by hand each month.
Real data rarely arrives in one tidy table. Here you learn to reshape and combine sources so that analysis becomes easy.
You do not need to become a programmer, but a little M helps you read, adjust and troubleshoot what Power Query generates.
A good model makes every later step simpler. This module teaches you to organise tables the way Power BI expects them.
DAX is the formula language of the data model. You start with simple aggregations and build up to measures that answer real management questions.
Most management reports compare periods. This module shows how to build those comparisons with a proper Date table.
With a trusted model in place, you design the report pages people will actually open.
A dashboard succeeds when a busy manager can read it in half a minute. This module focuses on design choices rather than decoration.
The final module covers what happens after the report is built, including what the free and paid options allow.
Power Query and Power BI are two parts of the same reporting toolkit. Power Query connects to files, folders and databases and records every cleaning step, so the routine can be replayed on next month’s data. Power BI Desktop then takes the cleaned tables, lets you relate them, add DAX measures and design interactive pages.
For learners in Mardan, the practical benefit is simple: a monthly report stops being a manual copy-and-paste exercise and becomes a refreshable file. We work on sales, expense, stock and receivable datasets so each feature is tied to a task you would actually be asked to do.
The course covers Power Query, Power Pivot, DAX and dashboards, from beginner level to advanced.

We begin with data preparation because most reporting problems start there. Once your data is clean, modelling and DAX make sense, and dashboards are easier to design. This sequence avoids the common trap of building beautiful visuals on unreliable numbers.
Several things make the course practical rather than theoretical:
Learning these tools reduces manual reporting, improves accuracy and opens doors to analyst roles. Many finance teams now expect staff to combine files and build dashboards without waiting for IT.
Here is what changes in daily work once you can use them well:
These tools do not replace judgement. You still need to know what the numbers mean, and this is why we teach through business scenarios and not just menus.
If you are completely new to spreadsheets, spend a little time on Excel basics first; the course assumes you can already work comfortably with tables and simple formulas.
After your practical training with Accountech Training & Solutions you will be able to:
Completing the course earns an Accountech certificate of completion. Please note that it is issued by Accountech, not by Microsoft, and it should be read as proof of training rather than an industry qualification.
For stronger evidence, build two or three dashboards on sample data and be ready to explain how you cleaned, modelled and checked the numbers.
Why build a dashboard portfolio while you study?
Keep every example on sample data so no confidential information is exposed.
When comparing courses in Mardan, look past the screenshots. Ask what happens to a file full of blanks, merged cells and text dates, because that is the file you will meet at work.
The right course explains cleaning and modelling, gives you datasets to practise, and tells you openly what it does not cover. Learners who need a spreadsheet foundation can start with Excel training and come back to Power BI later. You are welcome to ask for advice on the contact page.
Before you pay, check these points:
A course that guarantees a job or a salary is making a promise it cannot keep.
Fee and duration are simple: Rs 3,000 for a one-month course that moves from the basics to DAX and dashboards. The fee covers the training only. Power BI Desktop itself can be downloaded free for Windows, but publishing and sharing depend on the licence you hold, and Microsoft’s licence page explains the options.
Students in Mardan can join online. Reach us through the contact page or on WhatsApp 0331-8433334, and ask for a demo class if you would like to see the teaching first.
The course is taught online, so you can learn from home or from the office anywhere in Mardan without travelling:
Power BI Desktop runs on Windows, so practise on a Windows computer; a modern laptop with 8 GB of RAM is a comfortable starting point.
Reporting and analytics skills are used across many job titles. Roles where Power Query and Power BI are commonly mentioned include:
Employers usually look for clean data handling, an understanding of business numbers, clear communication and a few examples of finished work. Pay varies widely by employer, experience and city, so check current listings on job sites and treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
Power BI is used by organisations worldwide, supporting remote analyst opportunities. Freelance marketplaces and remote job boards regularly list reporting and dashboard tasks, and clients abroad often care more about a working portfolio than a degree.
To compete well, combine Power BI with strong English communication, a solid grasp of business or accounting concepts and, if you wish to go further, a language such as Python; see our Python course in Urdu and Hindi. Check each role’s requirements for deeper skills, and treat this course as a strong foundation rather than a complete qualification.
Mardan’s agriculture-linked businesses, sugar and food processors, small manufacturers, traders and educational institutions all handle regular reporting.
Common situations where these skills help include:
Want your whole department to learn this? Ask about corporate training and we will suggest a plan.
The planned duration is one month. Learners who practise a little every day usually finish with time to spare for the final project.
The course fee is Rs 3,000. This covers the training itself; any software or Microsoft licensing costs are separate.
Yes, basic to intermediate Excel is helpful. You should be comfortable with tables, formulas and ideally pivot tables, because Power Query and Power Pivot build on those ideas.
Yes, DAX is part of the course scope along with Power Pivot and dashboards. You learn measures, calculated columns, filter context and common time-intelligence calculations.
Yes, the training is online, and you can ask questions on WhatsApp 0331-8433334.
Power BI Desktop is available from Microsoft as a free download for Windows, so you can practise without buying it. Publishing and sharing through the Power BI service depends on the licence type, so confirm the current terms on Microsoft’s site.
Power BI Desktop is a Windows application, so a Windows laptop or desktop is the practical choice for practice. Check Microsoft’s current documentation if you are considering other setups.
No. Power Query is also available in Excel, where it appears as Get and Transform Data, and the same ideas apply in both. Learning it once helps in either program.
You receive an Accountech certificate of completion. It is not a Microsoft certification; Microsoft’s own exams are separate and can be explored after the course.
Yes, it is a very good fit. Finance professionals already understand ledgers, budgets and ageing reports, so they quickly see how Power BI can automate and improve the reports they already produce.
Practise with your own data after each lesson. Repeating the workflow is the quickest route to confidence. If you have a question that is not answered above, message us on WhatsApp 0331-8433334 or visit the contact page, and we will be happy to help you choose the right starting point.
