Power BI Advanced Analytics

This programme is for participants who already use Power BI and want to move into advanced reporting, complex data modelling, and enterprise-level deployment. It covers DAX patterns, relationships, performance, and Power BI Service governance.

This is the deepest of the three Power BI programmes and assumes real working fluency with the tool. The centre of the course is DAX, which is where most self-taught Power BI users stall: calculated columns versus measures, row and filter context, CALCULATE and its modifiers, time intelligence for period-over-period comparison, and variables for readable formulas. Around that, participants cover data modelling properly, including star schemas, relationship cardinality and why a flat table eventually breaks. The session closes on performance, covering what makes a report slow and how to diagnose it, plus row-level security for reports that different audiences must see differently.

Modules

01

Advanced DAX

Time intelligence functions, CALCULATE, ALLEXCEPT, and complex measure patterns for business calculations that go beyond simple aggregations.

02

Data Modelling Best Practices

Star schemas, snowflake schemas, managing relationships, and avoiding modelling mistakes that slow down reports.

03

Row-Level Security (RLS)

Implement dynamic and static RLS so each user sees only the data relevant to their role.

04

Power Query Advanced

M language basics, custom columns, query parameters, and reusable transformation steps for maintainable data pipelines.

05

Performance Optimisation

Identify slow reports, reduce model size, apply Vertipaq analyser insights, and optimise for fast load times.

06

Deployment Pipelines

Move reports through development, test, and production environments in Power BI Premium workspaces.

07

Dataflows and Shared Datasets

Centralise data preparation using dataflows and reuse certified datasets across multiple reports in the organisation.

08

Final Activity

Enterprise Report Deployment. Participants build an advanced data model with multiple tables, implement row-level security, and deploy a report through a Power BI pipeline to a shared workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Power BI Advanced Analytics runs for 2 days. It is delivered as an in-house closed group session, so the schedule can be adjusted to fit your team's working hours.

Yes. Delivery options are physical, online, hybrid, e-learning. In-house sessions run at your premises anywhere in Malaysia, online sessions run live over video conference, and hybrid combines both for teams split across sites.

Certificate of Completion included. Each certificate carries a certificate number that can be checked at orbixtech.my/certificate-verify.

Level: Intermediate to Advanced (prior Power BI experience required). The session is built around worked examples and group exercises rather than theory, so participants apply the material to their own organisation during the session.

Yes. This course is also available through the Orbix LMS and e-learning platform, where participants work through the material on their own schedule and device rather than attending one fixed session. A knowledge assessment and certificate on completion work the same way as the instructor-led session.

Minimum 2 participants for an in-house or live online session. With only 1 participant, we deliver it as a one-to-one online session instead.

Yes. Many clients pair this course with our one-day team building and high-performing teams programme on the same engagement, so the budget and the day cover both.

Yes. Participants can follow up by email with questions that come up while applying what they learned, and we will point you to the right template, checklist or framework reference even after the session is over.
