Power BI Data Modeling Sessions

This is going to be a very busy week for presentations Iam presenting with five sessions scheduled on the topic of data modeling!

Data modeling is the heart and foundation of a useful Power BI solution. If you can get the data model right, most everything else falls into place. Correct data modeling is relatively simple on the surface but can be challenging in practice. Evidence of the interest and importance of this topic is that I submit abstracts on a few different topics for these events and this is the one keeps getting selected.

Even for small, informal BI projects, shaping the data into a dimensional model alleviates complexity, speeds up slow calculations and reduces the data model storage size. I conclude this post by reviewing seven data architectures and the data shaping methods with different degrees of scale.

Doing Power BI the Right Way

This is an introduction to a series of posts and pages that will provide a comprehensive set of best practices for successful Power BI solutions. In previous posts. Let’s start with a simplified flowchart and condensed decision tree. This first whiteboard drawing is the first half of the Power BI design process, ending with the data model, before measures, visualization and solution delivery. There is a lot more but I think this is a good starting point. Let’s start the conversation here and then I will enhance this post with a more complete list of topics.
