Dataset 006 Setting up the game

In week 2 with Dataset 006 it’s time to perform the build, data modelling is so important in Power BI, never neglect this step. Get it right and you’ll have a punchy model, get it wrong and you’ll be constantly waiting for measures to complete. Taking some time and thinking through your data structures is vital. A great model will make your DAX easier to write while leaving you with options to expand. So getting it wrong isn’t just going to affect how easily you can get visuals to show what you want, but also you can find yourself restricted from future growth by poor decisions. Finally get it right and it will be quicker and more compact as well.

#DataModelling is not a rude word!
