Data Modeling for Power BI Video Course

Data modeling is a required skill to get the most out of Power BI, Power Pivot for Excel, and Analysis Services. This video course is aimed at users of Power BI Desktop or Power Pivot for Excel, and at Analysis Services developers who want to learn how to build the optimal data model for their reporting needs.

The goal of the video course is to teach through examples of increasing complexity how to solve business scenarios by adapting the data model, so that the required DAX code becomes easier, faster and more robust. All the demos and the exercises are based on Power BI examples. However, the very same concepts can be applied to Power Pivot and Analysis Services Tabular.

The video course is made up of over 10 hours of lectures, plus another estimated 8 hours of individual exercises. You can watch the videos at any time and the system will keep track of your progress. Within the video course you can download the material for all the exercises.

STUDENT REVIEWS

Daniel Anastacio (Apr 17, 2023)

Data Modeling for Power BI has definitely been a great investment in my development as a Power BI Developer. Many of the concepts that I have struggled to understand have come to light with this course, one example being the RELATED and RELATED table functions. Thank you for that. However, I would be lying if I said that I completely understand the problem solving techniques of every single DAX expression provided as examples here in this course. Although I took the time to dissect each DAX formula shown, there were a handful I was not able to grasp on my own. I believe a bit more research and a little more exposure will finally give me the know-how to master not only DAX but also Data Modeling.

The course is very well structured and the clarity of Marco and Alberto is unparalelled, also and not less important the support from Sergio in the Q&A is also fantastic. I believe the course is more targeted to beginners and intermediates although anyone can benefit from the knowledge. It would be great to add in the future modeling scenarios with dynamic row level security.

Great course! I came back to the basics of Power BI even by having some years of experience and still found that very insightful and well guided examples!
