Introduction to Data Modeling for Power BI Video Course
Introduction to Data Modeling for Power BI is an introductory video course about data modeling, which is a required skill to get the best out of Power BI, Power Pivot for Excel, and Analysis Services. The training is aimed at users that do not have a background knowledge in data modeling for analytical systems and reporting.
The goal of the course is introduce the primary concepts of dimensional modeling, using practical examples and demos to illustrate how to obtain the desired result without having to write complex DAX expressions. Creating a proper data model simplifies the code to write and improves the performance. The course is made of 100 minutes of lectures. You can watch the videos at any time and the system will keep track of your advances. Within the course you can download the slides and the Power BI files used in the demos.

It's a valuable resource, but it may not be ideal for newcomers to Power BI. It would be helpful to emphasize beginner-friendly content more.
- – Thank you Falak for your review. Correct, our content targets more advanced users of Power BI. We do not claim to teach Power BI, we teach DAX and Data Modeling.

Difficult to follow along. I prefer free Pragmatic Works YouTube tutorials.

This did not feel like an introduction. Perhaps more like a continuation of and earlier course I may have missed. I struggled to keep up with the concepts being used.

Very informative

The lecture is not hard to understand, however the samples in the video used was not so easy to read for beginners, need more explanation for the DAX code used in the video.
- – Hi Jack,
Thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback today.
According to our guide (https://www.sqlbi.com/guides/dax/) the Introducing DAX video should be watched first. The purpose of the DAX code in the “Introduction to Data Modeling” course is to show how complex DAX code turns out without a good data model.
Happy Learning,
Claire

GOOD, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IN EXPLAINATION

i dont know but cant this dax and data modelling a little bit easier to gulp down the throat for we beginners. All the thanks to God that somehow i thrived this one.

Excelente, me gustaría que los audios video sean en español tambien
- – Hi Pedro,
Thank you for your comment. As you may have noticed we provided Spanish subtitles. These are translated automatically from hand-written English subtitles.

very good course to persue
- Sidney Cavalcante (Aug 8, 2020)
The course opened the eyes of the need for modeling, as the work will be smaller and easier on DAX.
