Data Modeling for Power BI Video Course
Data modeling is a required skill to get the most out of Power BI, Power Pivot for Excel, and Analysis Services. This video course is aimed at users of Power BI Desktop or Power Pivot for Excel, and at Analysis Services developers who want to learn how to build the optimal data model for their reporting needs.
The goal of the video course is to teach through examples of increasing complexity how to solve business scenarios by adapting the data model, so that the required DAX code becomes easier, faster and more robust. All the demos and the exercises are based on Power BI examples. However, the very same concepts can be applied to Power Pivot and Analysis Services Tabular.
The video course is made up of over 10 hours of lectures, plus another estimated 8 hours of individual exercises. You can watch the videos at any time and the system will keep track of your progress. Within the video course you can download the material for all the exercises.
Students have access to a private discussion area where they can interact with the instructors asking questions related to the lectures and the exercises.

I think that it is an excellent course. The most important thing is the way of presenting the lectures. Not only the scenarios are challenging but the corresponding solutions are very well explained.

Great course. Lots of good information. Thanks guys

Marco and Alberto are excellent instructors. They have the ability not only to teach you new topics, but I found that the way they walk through the material also allowed me to put into context that knowledge I already had on Data Modeling. I can't recommend the class enough.

Fantastic! Very detailed and all the explanations were very complete.

Hey guys, I like the course, but I feel letdown. I'm not exactly a newbie but there are a lot of technicalities I wish were explained at some point or at least referred. I get that this is not a DAX course (I have already bought other courses in order to grasp more) but things like filter context, ambiguity, Iterations, explanation of Calculate(values[]) and other hardcore combinations of dax are barely touched and regularly used. I have found some answers on your own Youtube account and that's seems to indicate that you are aware of this gap between what people like me (basic users) are trying to grasp. Basically I'm giving you the benefit-of-the-doubt rating that everything will come together with your other courses.

Great course! It's good to have this reference to come back while getting field experience.

Well guided, mentored and have fun to keep in mind that a good modelling is so important before writing DAX.

great course, thank you!

The course is not simply easy to follow, due to continous explanations and relationships that are referring to something else we cannot see. More hours should have been dedicated to basic level, to reinforce the important concepts. Too condensated, at least double of hours minimum would be required for the course, splited up into more basic examples. Too many concepts and complexity on a few hours. It is mentioned that DAX is not requirement, but finally it shows up everywhere, being really complex/impossible for beginners.

Great content and explained very well. Recommend this course for every PowerBI developer. Thanks a lot

It was sold to us by mention you don't need to have any expirience in advance. this is not correct. the course speed is just to fast to understand and deploy the topics. unfortunatly this has been a waste of time so far. I would recommend you need to have at least to teach the basics first!
- – As discussed, the Data Modeling course is not a beginner course and we do not promote it as a beginner course. We always encourage students to follow the learning path we have designed. It is a good idea to start with the two free introductory courses, to then fully benefit from the Data Modeling course.

Great course specially the currency and the budget modules insights.
- Rich Brown (Dec 30, 2020)
A little too advanced for me. I will need to review the introduction course, then go back through this one.
- Anna Kolbasova (Nov 15, 2020)
Thank you so much for the course!!! I've learned many useful scenarios that I will definitely check in practice. When I complete "Mastering DAX", which is my next course, I'm going to return to some complex topics from "Data Modeling" course to get a better understanding of DAX formulas.

Great course in DAX. Too bad that it lacks explanation of Power Query Editor and M.
