Data Modeling with Power BI: Advanced DAX Calculations

Course Overview

Advanced data modeling and DAX can be challenging due to their complex syntax and the need to understand both technical and business requirements. This comprehensive tutorial is designed to help you master data relationships and write sophisticated DAX formulas to create powerful analytics solutions. This guided project is crafted for intermediate business and financial analysts who want to take their Power BI skills to the next level and leverage advanced analytics capabilities. More specifically during the following hour you will learn how to: - Import data and create table relationships to build a solid Power BI foundation - Write and manage DAX measures and calculated columns using various functions and operators - Create time-based calculations and complex measures using advanced DAX functions To achieve this, you will create a comprehensive financial analysis solution that incorporates multiple data sources and complex relationships. This solution will showcase advanced DAX calculations, custom measures, and visualizations that help you derive meaningful insights from your data. This project is unique because it bridges the gap between fundamental data modeling and advanced DAX capabilities in Power BI, teaching you how to combine both for more powerful and insightful analysis. In order to be successful in this project, you will need basic understanding of Power BI fundamentals, familiarity with basic business metrics (like sales, profit, growth), access to a Windows machine to run Power BI Desktop, and a Microsoft account to download the software and save your work.
