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.

Awesome, as always. I came into this knowing the very basics of star schemas and de/normalization so I though I wouldn't get much out of it... but the data modeling scenarios were GOLD. I've run into those exact problems in my work before and I love the framework they provide in this class to understand how to *approach* those problems (even if the execution of them is for a more in-depth course).

This was a good course to understand the nuances of data modelling. Explains why a good data model is essential in data analysis. It is a perfect short course to cover basics of data modelling with easy examples.

This did not feel like an introduction. Perhaps more like a continuation of and earlier course I may have missed. I struggled to keep up with the concepts being used.

The excellent course. The explanation was clear. The examples explain the context. I can transform them to my own situations. The most important news: “ Your situation is typical – use star schema “ ? . I will buy your book. Thank you for your time and free course.

Good introduction to those new to Power BI. I will recommend this course first, with reading the Analyzing Data book to follow up. I found the discussion questions interesting as well. Thanks for your time in answering those questions.
