Preparing and Modeling Data with Power BI

Meet your instructor, get an overview of the course, and learn some fundamental concepts about how Power BI is used to prepare data and generate easy-to-understand visual reports.

Learn core concepts of data modeling in Power BI, including how to make your data model more efficient by splitting it into fact tables and dimension tables.

Learn how to gather your data using the Get Data feature and tidy it up using basic transformations, so that it is ready for more advance transformations and data modeling.

Learn different ways we can take the data we have at our fingertips and use bigger transformations to morph it into what we need for our data model and, ultimately, our reporting.

This lesson is all about relationships and filters. We'll cover relationship cardinality and direction, filter direction, implicit DAX, quick measure, and custom DAX functions that rely on filters.

Go into greater depth on reports and DAX that is specifically helpful for reporting, including how to add basic components to your report and group the data using measures and calculated columns.
