Power BI: Dashboards That Drive Decisions
Data modeling done right, DAX without the mystique, and dashboards designed for the person deciding — plus refresh scheduling, row-level security and workspace governance for real deployments.
Power BI's tragedy is that it's easy enough to produce something — so organizations fill with slow, wrong, unmaintainable dashboards built on flat-file imports and copy-pasted DAX. This program teaches the craft underneath: star-schema data modeling (where 80% of Power BI performance and correctness lives), DAX built up from evaluation context rather than recipes, and report design aimed at the decision-maker's question rather than chart inventory.
The deployment half covers what self-taught users hit last and hardest: scheduled refresh and gateways, row-level security, workspace and app governance, and version discipline for reports that outlive their authors.
