It was a great learning experience. I enjoyed it and can't wait to apply all the designs to our dashboards. Looking forward to more sessions like this in the future!

Adam was very patient and allowed time for everyone to catchup. If someone had a question or needed him to repeat a step, he took the time to catch everyone up. He explained each step clearly and was easy to follow.

Course was again good to build on knowledge of design. Measure Calculations and DAX, for the small amount we did, went over my head, but i will just learn that bit at home, or in the DAX course. Otherwise everything else was very relatable.
