Learn how to clean, optimize and model data tables to develop effective, insightful and actionable Power BI reports

This course covers in detail the query editor and how to develop effective Power BI data models. When starting out with Power BI you can sometimes overlook how important these two areas inside of Power BI are to developing an effective reporting solution. This course makes sure that you can see the immense value of doing work in these areas right can be. Covered are intermediate to advanced techniques that will enable you to optimize your raw data tables and then connect them into a functioning analytical model that you can ultimately overlay DAX formula to and get the correct results, that will answer your analytical questions.

  • Details of what you will learn during this course
  • Learn – best practice techniques when using the query editor
  • Learn – how to work with ‘M’ code and the advanced editor
  • Understand – the row and column query transformation options
  • Implement – advanced data cleaning and transformation techniques
  • Work – through end to end examples of querying multiple tables
  • Learn – how to think about and manage the data model
  • Learn – effective techniques applicable to any data scenario
  • Apply – advanced data modeling techniques to your own models
  • Understand – advanced modeling scenarios and situations
  • Learn – how to effectively organize your models
