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.

Course gave a great overview and insight into data modelling.

The course was great as a refresher. Having taken a course in university on most of this, it was nice to go over it again. I can't speak for those who would hear all of this for the first time. The examples work but maybe could have been easier to follow? I somehow missed what DAX really was until the last couple of lectures. I though I came to learn about PowerBi but instead learned about general analytics. I control the data on the backend so learning about how to manipulate it because it wasn't delivered properly wasn't all that useful but its good to know.

Excellent Content

Nice and concise presentation of the importance of setting up the data in the correct way! A wonderful presentation. May I only add that as all users of BI should also have access to Power Query, instead of doing a more complex presentation with advanced DAX coding, an inclusion of PowerQuery would possibly have gotten students a better understanding of the right tools for the job. That would of course have increased the scoop of this excellent free tutorial. I understand why it was excluded.

Good explanation for beginners except few places where complexity was bit high

Thanks for all

Great course! It would be better though if there were some provisions for practice, exercises, and tests between the lectures. Thank you, Taye Ogunmiloro

I thought I had a good understanding of dimensional modelling. I now know how much I have to learn. Thank you for opening my eyes.

It´s a pity that there is no connection to the DB nor a way to download the DB, since the SQL server connection is unavailable. Otherwise, the course is brilliant. Thank you very much!

Very helpful, even for someone experienced in the area. Just wish there was more!
