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.
I thought I had a good understanding of dimensional modelling. I now know how much I have to learn. Thank you for opening my eyes.

It´s a pity that there is no connection to the DB nor a way to download the DB, since the SQL server connection is unavailable. Otherwise, the course is brilliant. Thank you very much!

Overall, very good. I learned a lot. Star Schema makes sense and examples how to manage around multiple fact tables is helpful.
Thanks!

It was great and clear, though the layout of the tables in presentation slides should be the same as in the PBI files for more clarity.
