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.

This was great as an introduction to data modeling, although is clear that is intended for Power BI users, it would be great if you talked a bit about avoiding design problems in the data source (i.e creating a tabular model in SSAS). It clearly states the importance of the star schema and good design.

Marco and Alberto first and foremost I hope your families are well. My wife and I had a wonderful month in Italy in 2016 and just loved the people and charm of Italy so we really feel sorry for the Italian people who are so warm and generous. Thank you so much this was so very helpful for me to figure out how to go from Excel to Power BI. It was so well articulated. I love the clear explanation on the structure of data, star schema and fact, dimension and helper tables.

It´s a very valuable course. Most of the interesting approaches that we can apply in data modeling and data analysis are covered here so it´s up to everyone to start their own way in this field to become an employee with aggregate value
