This advanced Power BI course is designed for people who have some experience building reports, but want to better understand how Power BI handles data behind the scenes. You’ll learn to build better data models (using the correct relationships and filter flow) to make reports more reliable by ensuring totals, filters, and calculations behave the way you want.
In this training, you will build data models using hierarchies, custom sort orders, and reusable date tables that support both fiscal and calendar year reporting. You will deepen your DAX knowledge by working with parameters, inactive relationships, and context-aware calculations, while learning when logic belongs in the data model versus in a DAX measure. You will also implement Row-Level Security (RLS), including dynamic security based on the logged-in user, to control data access in shared reports.
You will learn how to connect Power BI to databases, understand Import versus DirectQuery tradeoffs, and improve performance as you learn about query folding. By the end of the course, you will be better prepared to troubleshoot common modeling issues, publish secure datasets, and apply best practices that align with Microsoft’s PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst Associate certification.
Students should have Power BI knowledge equivalent to our Power BI Bootcamp.
