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.

This is a very good introduction course on data modeling

The course is just very well done. It's free, andit's a high level introduction, but it correctly emphasizes that for Power BI at least, the simpler the schema (and by this they mean a star schema, and depending on your non-standard needs, you may well have to throw in some denormalization), the more straightforward will be the DAX. Having a bad or unorthodox data model in Power BI, is a road to DAX agony. Thank you Marco and Alberto for making this introductory high level course free. I look forward to enrolling your paid modeling course.

Clear, concise and easy to understand, without sacrificing on depth and detail. A great intro to data modeling in DAX, and an excellent refresher if you haven't worked with PowerBI in a while. Highly recommend!
- Rita Kiss (Feb 7, 2024)
Everyone who works with PowerBI should complete this course to make their life easier. Very useful and well explained.

I recently completed the "Introduction to Data Modeling" course by SqlBI, taught by Marco Russo. It was a comprehensive and enlightening experience. I gained a deep understanding of data modeling concepts, including granularity, normalization, denormalization, and star schema organization. Marco's clear explanations and practical examples made complex topics easy to grasp. This course is invaluable for anyone looking to improve their data modeling skills and optimize DAX queries. Highly recommended!
