About the Course

This course forms part of the Microsoft Power BI Analyst Professional Certificate. This Professional Certificate consists of a series of courses that offers a good starting point for a career in data analysis using Microsoft Power BI. In this course, you'll learn how to use Power BI to create and maintain relationships in a data model and form a model using multiple Schemas. You'll explore the basics of DAX, Power BI's expression language, and add calculations to your model to create elements and analysis in Power BI. You'll discover how to configure the model to support Power BI features for insightful visualizations, analysis, and optimization. After completing this course you'll be able to: ● Create and maintain relationships in a data model. ● Form a model using a Star Schema ● Write calculations DAX to create elements and analysis in Power BI ● Create calculated columns and measures in a model ● Perform useful time intelligence calculations in DAX ● Optimize performance in a Power BI model This is also a great way to prepare for the Microsoft PL-300 exam. By passing the PL-300 exam, you’ll earn the Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst certification....

This is a good foundational course on the way of mastering Power Bi. However, there are some areas that could be improved on: - DAX learning material structure was confusing - first there was a very high level overview of DAX functions, then a quite involved assignment, then a step-by-step walkthrough and then a guided project where the concepts used in the assignment were explained on simple examples. It would be much easier to understand the concepts if the guided project was first, than an example similar to the assignment, and then the assignment with some variations would go last. - The quality of materials in this course was not high - there were wrong datasets in 2 assignments; some datasets were saved with local paths so Transform Data threw an error and didn't open; there was an outdated quiz question about Power Bi UI where correct answer does not correspond to the current UI. All this made exercise experience less enjoyable. Overall, this course was harder than the previous 3. DAX concepts were hard and practice was limited. I'm going to take a pause between this and the next course to spend some more time practicing DAX and measures.

The course as a whole was very good. In-depth and informative. The only thing I can say that is negative is that in several of the Exercises/Exemplars there would often be key details missing in the instructions. I have been able to figure out the items on my own by Googling or trial and error but it took extra time to complete the assignments. Otherwise, I would recommend this course for those interested in Power BI Data Modeling.

Overall the course content was good. However, there were a lot of mistakes. For example, quiz questions that would say "select all that apply" when you can't select multiple options. Power BI workbooks that are connected to data we don't have access to. Etc. Other than these little types of bugs throughout the course, I found the information very useful.

This course was very informative, it would have been 5 stars but there were 2 exercises in which I was unable to accomplish them due to the fact that the files uploaded were the incorrect files because the DATA was not related to the exercise questions

many bugs, projects in PowerBI for exercises are related on files of creators' computer, so it is unable to open it in PowerQuery. So I had to manually create Excel source files with tables on my computer.

This course was well organized and the instructor was articulate but in some of the exercises I found inaccurate instructions and missing relevant excel files.

I hoped there is much more DAX in this course. Moreover there are missing sources in some excercises.

Challenging. Some of the content would not refresh in the PBIX files

Frequently felt lost regarding DAX. I think a significant more time working with it is needed. Felt as if the course expected you to use it fluently after only a brief introduction. In addition, some PBIX functionality didn't work because it seems like the data source was linked to the publisher of the file. This made it so I was unable to complete some assessments, and was forced to guess or brute force it to continue. For example, I was getting a DataSource.Error that stated "Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\maharajs\Downloads\Customers.csv'." This is not my name, nor a user on my computer, so I have assumed that it is related to the author of the file.

There were issues with this course. It seems like changes were made to the material, but these changes were not always reflected in the quizzes or the practice sections. There were several practice sections I was not able to complete because the wrong data was attached for that section.

The materials are mostly good. However, some practice tasks have the wrong data. The difficulty balance between the modules doesn't really work. Module 2 is way more difficult than the rest and includes as much work as the rest of the course combined. The presenter is good.

The videos are good, but the screenshots in the exercises often do not match the text description of the exercise and also the example data to do the exercise with was often not correct or complete. After remarking on this in the forums there was no reaction.

The exercise files are with incorrect components. And the quiz questions went too detailed and not providing great connections between courses and questions. Overall it's better to check the integrity of course materials

too too to many readings and not enough interactions. data modeling is an interaction you have to know how to perform. just being able to memorize it will not help. i dont recommend this course to my friends

You can learn the basic concept of data modeling in this course but you should be prepared for the general negligence in the training materials and tests which make the topic harder to grasp.

The course covers a lot of topics that are difficult to understand. I found annoying that I couldn't complete some exercises because the files provided were not usable.

Exercises are too easy and there are no actual tutors in videos, just talking heads
