Proper data analysis relies on proper data modeling. This first chapter covers the basic concepts and teaches you how to set up and load data from multiple sources.

Data modeling and table properties

Power Query vs. Power BI

Load and transform data

Loading a CSV

Rounding, replacement, and sorting

Data categorization and visibility

Working with string columns

Defining Tables

In this chapter, we continue comparing Power Query and Power BI practices. Later, you will exercise combining tables and column extraction on Power BI.

Shaping tables

Power Query vs. Power BI again

Merging and appending queries

Breaking a file into multiple tables

Appending files

Column extraction

Shaping Tables

In this chapter, you'll learn more about one of the most popular approaches to data modeling. You'll get familiar with the basic building blocks of the dimensional model; facts, dimensions, and star schemas.
