# Power BI Advanced (Self-Paced) Canonical URL: ## Overview This advanced Power BI course is self-paced and designed for people who have some experience building reports, but want to better understand how Power BI handles data behind the scenes. You’ll learn to build better data models (using the correct relationships and filter flow) to make reports more reliable by ensuring totals, filters, and calculations behave the way you want. In this training, you will build data models using hierarchies, custom sort orders, and reusable date tables that support both fiscal and calendar year reporting. You will deepen your DAX knowledge by working with parameters, inactive relationships, and context-aware calculations, while learning when logic belongs in the data model versus in a DAX measure. You will also implement Row-Level Security (RLS), including dynamic security based on the logged-in user, to control data access in shared reports. You will learn how to connect Power BI to databases, understand Import versus DirectQuery tradeoffs, and improve performance as you learn about query folding. By the end of the course, you will be better prepared to troubleshoot common modeling issues, publish secure datasets, and apply best practices that align with Microsoft’s PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst Associate certification. ## What you'll learn - Build better data models by understanding relationships, cardinality, and cross-filter direction - Design reliable data models and avoid common modeling mistakes - Create and use hierarchies to organize and drill into data - Control visual order with custom sort columns - Create reusable date tables supporting fiscal and calendar years - Add parameters to make reports interactive and flexible - Implement Row-Level Security (RLS) with Static and Dynamic roles ## Schedule - Jun 25, 2026 12:00am–12:00am — Live Online ## Pricing **Tuition:** $399
