Hello, everyone, I am an on-the-job professional manager, and one of my dreams is to become a data scientist. In the last two years, I started to contact Power Query and Power Pivot of Microsoft Excel, and then I went to Power BI. I think Power BI is a powerful tool that can help me to promote data management. From the moment I saw Power BI, I felt that Columbus possessed me, discovered the new continent and felt that the world was infinitely vast. If you haven't mastered this tool, I strongly recommend it to you and study with me.
Seeing my introduction may confuse everyone. Learning English learning motivation BI? What's the connection between them?
There is a famous saying full of philosophy: the same history will always repeat itself
DAX, the core modeling language of English and Power BI, is actually just a foreign language, one is a foreign language and the other is a computer language. However, there must be two core components, grammar and vocabulary. There are not many words in DAX language, but the grammar is more complicated than English. The value of language lies in empowering others. Imagine how human beings can communicate without language in this world. If Power BI doesn't have DAX, how to build a model of business insight?
Let's look at English first. Even if we look at the present situation of all English learners in China today, some of them have spent a lot of energy and cost. How many people can confidently say that they have crossed the communication gap even though they are abroad?
Language is actually everyone's natural skill. Taking learning English as an example, many people are caught in the thinking cycle of "grammar ignorance" and "insufficient vocabulary". In fact, really understanding the essence behind grammar and vocabulary is not as difficult as many people think. Learning simple things is complicated and often leads them astray. On the contrary, it is often difficult to achieve great things simply by learning complex things (only mentioning the Olympic numbers). Writing a masterpiece like Romeo and Juliet in English really needs to be more creative than ordinary people, but communicating, giving speeches, publishing articles and telling stories in English is actually everyone's basic ability.
The above is my original intention to write this article, especially this year, which can be said to be the outbreak year of electric power BI teaching in China. There are all kinds of power BI teaching in the market. I believe that Power BI, as one of the hottest intelligent business analysis tools at present, will be recognized and learned by more and more people. I want to be a bright light on everyone's road with my views on Power BI learning and my experience of "stepping on thunder". Together with many of you who used to be excel users, I will first advance from Power BI Xiaobai to Power BI Ninja. To let you know, it is not difficult to learn Power BI and M languages of DAX. Learning languages is everyone's basic ability. What I want to see is that you can create amazing works with language.
Second, today is Teachers' Day. I want to thank too many teachers. In today's era, there are countless people who may never be masked in your life, but they will become your real mentor.
In the field of domestic electric power BI, first of all, I would like to thank Mr. Zorro from Excel 120. He is an old wizard of domestic power BI. Watching an unbroken companion USZM video he shared ignited my idea of becoming an Excel 120 pastor, preaching, teaching and dispelling doubts. When I saw the automatic operation course launched by my teacher last year, my first feeling was that it was the business tool I wanted, which inspired my interest in learning Power BI. A good teacher doesn't want to give you all the knowledge, but to stimulate your inner motivation and guide you to the right learning direction.
Secondly, I would also like to thank the pioneers of China's brushwork, such as Shi Yang,,, Feng Kuang and so on. Every one of their teaching videos, articles and so on has benefited me a lot. What impressed me most was Shi Yang's pqfans blog and the recently established pbihub professional community, which will become the most professional gathering place for Power BI fans in China. Teacher Zhou Wen's DAX course is a rare course in China to explain the logic behind DAX. Gao Fei's visual dictionary course, the video has no language, but it can let you cultivate your visual skills in relaxed and humorous music. These teachers are also really great.
In the field of Power BI abroad, I can only start with the names of three masters: Macro Russo, Alberto Ferrari and Matt Allington, because if we want to talk about the more mature Power BI videos, blogs, works and communities abroad than at home, it will be endless.
Finally, let me introduce it first. The next article officially begins with the spark of thinking in Power BI learning.
-development from powerquery, powerpivot to Power BI.
-Power inquiry
-Relational model
-Measure and calculate columns
-Calculation?
-Color saturation.
After work, I will continue to write articles and publish my own teaching videos. Bottom line: There is no shortcut to learning, and the direction determines the height you can stand in the future. I hope I can become a ninja with you from the magical power Bi Xiaobai.
