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.

I recently had an embarrassing moment while working on data modeling in my Power BI project. I was analysing data from several different sources, but I couldn’t find a way to create a star schema to continue my analysis. To improve my skills, I revisited the course with Marco and Alberto (again!), and it turned out to be an eye‑opening experience. I realised that many people face situations similar to mine, and the course explained them clearly, giving me valuable hints for a solution. Now I’m curious — what will the next‑level course be like? I’m very excited to continue my studies. Thank you very much!
