Power BI Data Model Design Using Power BI Desktop

Good Power BI reports need good data. Two of the more important features of Power BI are the data import and clean tools in Power Query and the data Model that holds the imported data. In this course we will explore Power Query and how it connects to over 100 data sources. We will clean and transform the raw data into a form useful for Power Bi Reporting. After this data is imported into the Power Bi Model we will explore DAX formulas to summarize data and to add time intelligence features. If you are using anything more than simple data sources you should consider this an important follow up to the Power BI reporting course.
