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 course is part of the Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Professional Certificate.

What you'll learn

How to form a model using a Star Schema.
How to write calculations DAX to create elements and analysis in Power BI.
