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 for beginners: build the data model before the charts 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 for beginners: how to write measures that answer your 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 for beginners: how to publish and share reports people trust Publish Power BI with workspaces, refresh, RLS, and a trust checklist. Shared is not trusted until roles, refresh, and ownership survive Monday morning.
