Designing and Deploying Data Models

IN THIS CHAPTER

Bullet Detailing the technical requirements for designing a data model

Bullet Designing a basic data model in Power BI Desktop

Bullet Publishing a data model from Power BI Desktop to Power BI Services

Manipulating data after it’s in Power BI is both an art and a science. Data you've imported into any application requires you to pay attention to not just your dataset but also how the data has been defined. If you learn one thing about data, you need to refine it from the get-go. That means exploiting tables, creating new hierarchies, establishing joins and relationships that make sense, and classifying the data. Of course, you want your outputs to be meaningful, so you have to pay close attention to how you arrange the data in the data model. In this chapter, you discover how to craft your data in Power BI Desktop so that you can design and deploy effective data models for visualization, reporting, and dashboards. This chapter starts out by teaching you how to design and develop a basic data model in the Power BI Desktop environment and then shows you how to publish the model to Power BI Services when you’re ready for showtime.
