Intensive Data Modeling for Microsoft Power BI Creators

RM3,500.00

Course Duration: 3 Days
Language: English

Description

COURSE OVERVIEW

Data Modeling is one of the features used to connect multiple data sources in BI tool using a relationship. A relationship defines how data sources are connected with each other and you can create interesting data visualizations on multiple data sources.

With the data modeling for Microsoft Power BI feature, you can build custom calculations on the existing tables and these columns can be directly presented into Power BI visualizations. This allows businesses to define new metrics and to perform custom calculations for those metrics.

This intensive Power BI data modeling workshop is a complete course about building the most optimal data models for your Power BI reports. It introduces the audience to the basic techniques of shaping data models in Power BI. It offers many real-world examples that will help you look at your reports in a different way – pretty much like experienced data modelers do.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

After completing this course, students will be able to:

  • Learn the vast techniques of shaping and building a correct data model to be used in Power BI.
  • Understand the common challenges and mistakes that people have in creating a data model.
  • Learn the most optimum way of building a sustainable data model for Power BI reports.

PREREQUISITES

Attendees preferably have a basic knowledge of data modeling in Power Pivot for Excel, or Power BI Desktop, or Analysis Services Tabular modeling. If such knowledge is absent, it is also a great eye- opener for these attendees to gain an insight to the world of data modeling.
