Mastering Tabular Video Course
This video course covers tools and techniques to create enterprise-grade Tabular models with Power BI and Analysis Services.
The Tabular semantic model is the core technology that runs Power BI, Azure Analysis Services, and SQL Server Analysis Services. Knowing the features available, understanding their capabilities, and being aware of the limitations is crucial to planning, implementing, and deploying a complete solution in an enterprise environment.
- Power BI authors can bring their models to the next level, by understanding the details of the model features available in Power BI Desktop and by knowing the additional features available in external tools like Tabular Editor.
- Business Intelligence developers can learn how to create a model for Analysis Services or Power BI Premium using Visual Studio or Tabular Editor, how to deploy and automate the processing, and how to implement security requirements.
- Solution architects can understand how the Tabular engine running in Power BI and Analysis Services works. They will better understand all the details needed to choose the right model type depending on latency requirements and on the budget available: Import, DirectQuery, aggregations, composite models, or push datasets.
- System administrators can learn how to monitor the Tabular engine, how to manage partitions, and how to implement and schedule incremental refresh.
This course is useful to different professionals working with Power BI and Analysis Services. After a first initial review of all the modules, you can use the content as a reference while creating your model. We recommend you review specific modules in depth when working on particular areas of the model, such as security, partitioning, aggregations, deployment, scaling out, and more.
Basic knowledge of DAX is useful to create simple Tabular models. You can follow the free Introducing DAX video course to get acquainted with DAX.
In order to complete your training on Tabular, after the Mastering Tabular video course you should study the Mastering DAX video course. In the Mastering DAX video course, you will learn how to write complex measures and queries using the DAX language, which is not included in the Mastering Tabular video course.
Students have access to a private discussion area where they can interact with the instructors by asking questions related to the lectures and the exercises.
Tabular Editor 3 Enterprise License
Included in your purchase of the Mastering Tabular video course is a license for Tabular Editor 3 Enterprise that is valid for 90 days.
This is to ensure you have time to practice with the more advanced features required in enterprise-level solutions.

Wonderful course! An excellent opportunity to know in detail the insides of the architecture behind Power BI and how to handle this architecture through different interfaces and tools. Thanks and congratulations to Alberto Ferrari and Marco Russo for the didactics and quality of the classes.

Excellent course! Very thorough. And very time-consuming... (completed in 18 months 😅).
- Anton Kostov (Jan 16, 2023)
Thanks it was and extensive and well explained course. You two are great charismatic lectors. The only issue I have is that at 2x speed the stream output cannot catch up (no matter the quality setting). It not due to my internet speed also because it is quite high. Anyways, thanks again.

Siete di gran lunga i migliori
- Marco Antonio Augusto (Nov 2, 2022)
Excellent course! very complete and well explained.

This is s very comprehensive course on Tabular Model, covering everything you possibly want to know about it. It is one more course with the trademark of SQLBI which means excellence in every detail. Maestros Marcos and Alberto are really the greatest contributors to the Business Intelligence community. Thanks again maestros for que excellent work.

Simply a GRAND SLAM! Marco & Alberto have produced another Masterpiece. Bravo. The course goes into great detail on all major areas of Tabular Development, but at the same time keeps the Demos short, clear, and straight to the point, step by step. I could not extract the same quality of learning with just reading a book and building examples. The videos helps bring you up to speed with a minimal investment of study time. Learning how to implement Tabular across a variety of tools , Visual Studio, Power BI , and Excel & Power Query is just "Icing on the Cake" too. Thank you Gentlemen!! Mark

awesome

I'm in awe of the work and thought that has gone into the production of this video course. If you need a deep understanding of Tabular in all it's flavours (On Premise, Azure and Power BI Premium) then Alberto and Marco left no stone un turned. The course starts from a very basic level and gradually builds to the most complex topics. As with all of their training I can't recommend highly enough.

This course is excellent. Marco and Alberto have such a depth of knowledge.

This course gave me superb understanding with Alberto’s explanations, and muscle-memory training with Marco’s outstanding demos. Excellent presentation and resources provided. I kept pausing and speeding the video lectures on my PC on my left, while running demo exercises on my second rig on my right. Which is a much better learning experience than those expensive courses in the old days, where somebody else’s physical setup had to be constantly tweaked and there was no chance to rewind the lecture when you got distracted (thinking about an acronym or concept that you always wanted to read up on, for example). Moreover, the content of ‘Mastering TABULAR’ (as well as ‘Mastering DAX’, which I also took) gives you a ‘fly on the wall’ or ‘through the keyhole’ view of ALL the tricks in the “AS Tabular” trade. You could, possibly, watch an expert or learn on the job, or research online on your own, or even sit a DA-100 type certification. But on your own, you won’t get the feeling that you are not missing out on something (sorry about the double negative). Without this course it would have taken me too long to find out about every solution or third-party/community tool, not to mention some fundamental concepts. And in the meantime, I would have got left behind on some useful latest version functionality that are “about to be officially released or supported,” which are covered extensively in this course. All this is done on “try before you buy [or put into Production]” licenses. And, although I must admit to some unavoidable troubleshooting, like permissions config on my SQL/AS/PPU setup for example, such experience comes in very handy when you are having to “contact your administrator” [so you can tell them exactly how to grant you access to some key resources], never mind when you need to get a project authorised and signed off... In short, Marco and Alberto: thank you so much!

The best course for mastering the Tabular modeling engine around! Really enjoyed it, also the legacy stuff :)
