Do your visuals take forever to respond to filters?
Is DAX starting to feel more like a puzzle than a language?
Does your model view look like a tangled web of chaos?

Chances are, your data model is missing one crucial ingredient: a star schema.

In Power BI, a well-designed star schema isn’t just a best practice - it’s the key to performance, simplicity, and scalable DAX. The good news? Transforming a messy model into a clean star schema is easier than you think.

In this practical session, Markus Ehrenmueller-Jensen will walk you through common modeling pitfalls and show step-by-step how to reshape your model into a star schema using Power Query and DAX. You’ll learn how to:

* Assign attributes to fact and dimension tables
* Normalize your fact table and denormalize dimensions
* Add and configure a proper date table
* Replace blanks and cryptic flags with meaningful values

By the end, you’ll not only understand why star schemas matter—you’ll be well on your way to becoming a Guardian of the Star Schema.

Who Should Attend:
Anyone working with Power BI who wants faster reports, simpler DAX, and cleaner data models. Ideal for beginners and intermediate users ready to level up their modeling game.
