Business Intelligence has its own unique requirements from a data model. Data must be structured in such a way as to serve the business goals of the system.

A Data Model is created from disparate sources using ETL (Extract Transform Load) in Power Query (used by Microsoft Products like Power BI and Excel). Power Queries are written in a formula language called M.

  • Overview of data models 
  • Overview of Dimensional Modelling Techniques
  • M Functions and Keywords
  • Using M to load and transform data
