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.

Really great course! I learned a lot even though I have been working with Power BI for months already. I learned some of the pitfalls that I have made, and understand how I can create a better model. Thanks Alberto and Marco!

Very good introductory course in Power BI data modelling with simple and visually rich explanation. It would be also good to explain shortly how to handle the situation where there are two fact tables and two dimension tables such as FACT_Purchases, FACT_Sales, DIM_Products, DIM_Date. In this case, how to find the total sales for a specific product group in a specific month. This becomes tricky because of the filter direction.
