This event is part 7 of an event series - Around the world of Power BI in 80 days -a journey through the data platform.

What is this session about?

In the seventh session in this 12 part series, we will learn about PowerBI´s Time Intelligence.
Time Intelligence is one option a developer should always include in Power BI data models. Once a data model is built, the developer will need to understand what's already built to help with date grouping. A simple data table can be added as a dimension table from a Data Mart or built with a DAX formula. This session will look at the Date Table in a Tabular Model in Power BI. The flow will continue into the DAX functions most useful. There will be a guide with example code for groupings and filters.

Who is it aimed at?

The second month in this series are designed for beginners & intermediate-level regular Power BI users to further develop their skills. The content will become more advanced as the course progresses through the PowerBI journey.

Why should I attend?

Data modeling is at the core of using Power BI in an enterprise setting. Without proper data modeling, Power BI reports will start to repeat a lot of the same imports and refreshes required to have the most up to date data in a visual. Time Intelligence and Dimensional Modeling are important concepts to understand and use.
