Data Modeling and Architecture

Data Modeling and Architecture is designed to provide you with the foundational skills required to create and manage data models in Microsoft Power BI. Throughout this course, you'll explore the intricacies of data relationships, schemas, and the use of Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) to enhance your data models. You'll also explore essential topics like data privacy and security, ensuring that your data models are both effective and compliant with ethical standards. This course is hands-on, offering practical experience in configuring data structures and applying advanced techniques to optimize data models. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to design robust data models that support insightful and ethical data analysis. This program is for anyone interested in data analytics and visualization; there are no prerequisites. To get the most out of the learning experience, it is recommended to follow the courses in sequence, as each one builds on the skills and knowledge gained in the previous ones. At this point, you should have a strong understanding of different types of visualizations and their appropriate use, along with the ability to create cohesive and compelling reports in Power BI. You should also be capable of identifying and addressing common design problems in reports, producing audience-focused reports by understanding business needs. Additionally, you should also be comfortable configuring multiple data sources, cleaning and transforming data using Power Query, and ensuring data integrity and quality. These skills will serve as the foundation for more advanced tasks, such as building and maintaining relationships in data models, writing DAX calculations, and managing data privacy and ethics concerns in Power BI.
