I stopped watching the 2023-tutorial 1 hour in, because I saw that you had posted an updated 2024 version. I cannot believe that you guys put together updated, in-depth Power BI beginner-courses for us to watch for free, year after year. I was hooked from the first 30 minutes by your teaching-style and thoroughness, and then the 4 hours went by fast. This class was a perfect introduction to Power BI 2024. Thank you so much, and keep doing videos like this! Liked and subscribed.
I do recommend this course because I ran into problem of outdated UA-cam videos from two to four years ago using old versions of Power BI that left me confused. They need to upgrade as well because who wants old information on old versions when you're rolling out new menu screens with the new features. The only criticism I do have is a little too much talking back and forth and the guy breaking in may look like he has to "mansplain" everything. Not sure it's needed. It sometimes disrupts the flow. I get he brings up valid questions but it prolongs an already long video.
A very good video. You can feel it that their word are carefully crafted, such as the constant repetition of key processes in the dialog to keep you reviewing, so perfect for this video!
39 minutes into this course and i must say, pragmatics, you are the best! Absolute best! Wow! Beautiful ladies, smart team, i love how the main coach in the thumbnail asks just the question's to the coaches that the viewers would have asked if it was a physical lecture! Beautiful, absolutely perfect! Wonderful course.. wow! 🎉🎉🎉
I bought a LV bag at *suluxy* a few years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. A store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of excellent quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I saw ZERO differences.

Hi @PragmaticWorks , referring to 1:58:46, in the "reading score average difference", the tutor didn't show where she copied the data she pasted in the box, pls kindly explain where u copied the "test scores data" from
This part was mentioned as optional and not needed to continue. There was no data pasted here but instead a bit of DAX code to potentially clean up the results. You can rewind a few seconds and see the before and after but again this is not needed to continue.

Hello, thanks for this. However, I have a question regarding the Data Modeling class with Amelia. When she was creating a relationship between the two tables, she used the student number and student ID, even though the data in those columns were different. Why didn’t she create a surrogate key and merge the tables, as Mitchell did in his Data Modeling class?
Hi there! The Student Number and Student ID columns actually do store the same data so it's ok that the relationship is built on these two. Surrogate keys are a great option to consider but since this is more of a beginner class than the Data Modeling one it wasn't covered here.
@@babatundeolamideogunkoya3909 The StudentID column should not have a value higher than 1000. It sounds like you may be having an issue with the delimiter between the columns next to it. Each column has a comma separator delimitating where one column starts and stops.

Hey pragmatic works While building new relationship according to the video I am not able to save that relationship because save button is not popping I don't know what to do now please help
I'm following the course with a lot of interest. However, I'm stuck in the data modeling Section, I can't see the save button after matching the primary and foreign keys (StudentID and StudentNumber). Kindly help.

Angelica, thank you for the demonstration. However, why didn’t you remove the city and state columns after combining them?

You shouldn't need to sign in to save your Power BI Desktop file. You can save it locally as a .pbix file.

You can create Dark themes today but Dark mode to the entire Power BI Desktop is coming as well very soon.
