An advanced training course for data professionals who want to master modern data analysis and reporting in the Microsoft Fabric environment, with a focus on working with the semantic layer, analytical models and Power BI. You will spend most of your time working with data prepared in Lakehouse and Data Warehouse — analysing, modelling, optimising and presenting it using semantic models, DAX calculations and enterprise-level reports. You will learn to design and implement an analytical layer on top of the Microsoft Fabric data platform. You will explore different approaches to working with data — from SQL querying over Lakehouse and Data Warehouse, through working with semantic models, to using XMLA endpoints and Power BI projects. You will master data model design, understand the differences between storage modes (including Direct Lake), and learn to work with advanced analytical components such as DAX calculations, calculation groups, field parameters and composite models. Strong emphasis is placed on performance, scalability and the management of analytical solutions. You will focus on optimising queries, models and reports, working with large format datasets, incremental refresh, and managing security using RLS and OLS. You will learn to work with reusable assets, shared semantic models and lifecycle management of analytical solutions in Microsoft Fabric. This training course, together with the Data Engineering in Microsoft Fabric course, provides a comprehensive view of working with data within the Microsoft Fabric platform and prepares you for the DP-600: Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate certification exam.
