Modeling Data in Power BI
Master data modeling in Power BI through schemas, DAX calculations, and performance optimization to create powerful business analytics models.
Master data modeling in Power BI through schemas, DAX calculations, and performance optimization to create powerful business analytics models.
This comprehensive course teaches you how to create effective data models in Microsoft Power BI. You'll learn to establish and maintain relationships in your data models using various schema designs including Flat, Star, and Snowflake. The course introduces Data Analysis Expressions (DAX), Power BI's expression language, enabling you to write calculations that create powerful elements and analyses. You'll master creating calculated tables, columns, and measures, and learn how to implement time intelligence calculations for temporal comparisons. The course also covers model optimization techniques to enhance performance, including working with DirectQuery connections and implementing aggregations. Through practical exercises and hands-on projects, you'll develop the skills to configure your models for insightful visualizations and efficient analysis, ultimately learning how to build optimized data models that support effective business decision-making.
