Data modeling, semantic modeling, star schema and how to make one in Power BI - all explained neatly and clearly in this video.

In this video learn about data modeling in Power BI, using a fictional chocolate company as an example. It explains the importance of setting up a star schema, which involves organizing data into fact and dimension tables. I also cover the process of importing data into Power BI, establishing relationships between tables, and creating visualizations to analyze the data.
