This path is for you if Power BI opened on a chart and the model underneath is a mystery. Parts go model first, then measures that match the question, then publish and share in a way other people can trust. Start with the first part on this page. Do not start with a visual.
- 1 Power BI starter: model before visuals Power BI starts with the model, not the chart. Learn star schemas, relationships, and grain so your first report answers a real question instead of fighting double counts and mystery filters.
- 2 Power BI starter: measures that match the question Name Power BI measures after the question, write DAX that respects filter context, and test before the card goes live. Columns are raw material; measures are answers.
- 3 Power BI starter: publish, share, and trust Publish Power BI with workspaces, refresh, RLS, and a trust checklist. Shared is not trusted until roles, refresh, and ownership survive Monday morning.
