If I had to relearn Power BI from scratch in 2025, this is exactly how I’d do it! In this video, I share my experience on why learning data modelling in Power BI is the first step to success (and why skipping it causes big problems later).
I also explain why you should focus on insights over fancy design and dashboards. Plus, I’m sharing a simple CRAP design framework (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, Proximity) that you can use in your dashboards to help end users get the most out of your Power BI reports. I also talk about the importance of understanding user needs instead of just focusing on Power BI features. If you are a beginner with data analysis and thinking of Power BI as a career or searching for a Power BI roadmap this video is for you.
