Details
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.
In this course, we will discuss some of the principles of data modeling and practically write M Language Power Queries. In this course you will cover:
- Overview of data models
- Overview of Dimensional Modelling Techniques
- M Functions and Keywords
- Using M to load and transform data

Please note that this course needs a minimum of 6 delegates to schedule a course. You can choose to be added to the waiting list by clicking the button below, and we will contact you when we have enough delegates interested. Should we not get enough delegates, we will refund or credit your paid booking.
Should you need this course urgently, the following options are available:
- Pay for 6 delegates (whether you have them or not) and we will schedule the course as soon as possible.
- If you have fewer delegates and cannot pay for 6, we can negotiate a shortened course where some of the time will be spent in blended learning - watching videos and doing tutorials and exercises with some contact time with the trainer. We would want to discuss what your core needs are so that we cover those aspects. You need to have paid for 3 delegates at least.
