1 Day Extracting Data Insights with Power BI and DAX
This one day course is the second day of the two day training and goes on to focus on teaching you how to model data.
The term “Data Modelling” is not something that is familiar to most Excel Pros, and that is because data modelling has historically been done by IT on your behalf. But if you want to be good with Self Service BI using the Microsoft tools, you must learn how to become a data modeller – this is exactly what you will learn in this class. The topics include
- Introduction to Data Modelling.
- How to optimally load your data for use.
- DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) language and Common DAX functions.
