GRC-104FT: Intensive Data Modeling For Microsoft Power BI Creators [Fastrack]

GRC-104FT: Intensive Data Modeling for Microsoft Power BI Creators is a focused 2-day workshop designed to transform how you build and manage data models in Power BI. Whether you're a report creator or BI analyst, this course empowers you with the advanced techniques used by experienced data modelers to boost performance, accuracy, and scalability in Power BI reporting.

This hands-on training covers key challenges in modeling—many-to-many relationships, granularity mismatch, time intelligence, and performance bottlenecks. You’ll learn through real-world examples and practical labs, developing the ability to think and build like a true data architect.

Key topics include:

• Star schema design, normalization/denormalization, facts and dimensions

• Header-detail schemas, bidirectional filtering, and model simplification

• Building robust date dimensions, handling multiple dates, and working with non-overlapping and overlapping periods

• Leveraging snapshot tables for inventory, transitions, and non-additive measures

• Analyzing date/time intervals and solving DAX complexity using precomputed logic

• Navigating complex many-to-many relationships with CROSSFILTER and expanded tables

• Adjusting granularity and filtering behaviors across multiple tables and relationships

Each module includes labs where you'll apply what you've learned using realistic data challenges—building, testing, and validating optimal models for real scenarios.

By the end of this course, participants will:

• Master best practices in Power BI data modeling for performance and flexibility

• Resolve complex relationship issues and DAX challenges

• Create models that scale and simplify report development for business users

This course is ideal for Power BI creators with some experience in Power BI Desktop, Excel Power Pivot, or SSAS Tabular, and who are ready to advance their modeling skills to an expert level.
