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 learned some great tips. I have been using Power BI for a while and apparently all wrong; well not really wrong, just not the best practice. Very helpful stuff and I am planning to take the full course too.

Excellent introduction course by Marco and Alberto. They stress the importance of data modelling for Power BI and give many examples which can be solved by resorting to good old star schema. Thank you for your efforts.

Excelente introducción al modelado de datos, la explicación muy correcta ya que va de lo general a lo particular y se enfoca en mostrar las ventajas y desventajas de cada decisión que se toma en el modelado con ejemplos sencillos y muy bien explicados

Very nice course. I think it has almost all introduction topics. If I had to add something I would explain what to do when you have a fact table and a chain of conections like Product, ProductSubCategory and ProductCategory. Explain how to model dimensions in that scenario that is very frecuent.
