Data Modeling and Managing Relationships
After learning about how to write efficient and performant code, we must now take the next step in preparing and cleaning data for our analytics. This chapter is dedicated to comprehensively understanding and managing data relationships within Power BI to ensure clean and reliable data for effective decision-making. It addresses the often-overlooked issue of dirty data arising from poorly designed data models.
For those confused about why data modeling is part of this book, it’s crucial to understand that without proper structuring and optimization of data, analysis and visualization in Power BI would be inefficient and unreliable. The desired Power BI semantic model often necessitates transformations to ensure data accuracy, consistency, and performance, thus emphasizing the indispensable role of data modeling in the process of data cleaning.
The chapter consists of the following topics:
- Understanding the basics of data...
