Data Modeling in Power BI
With data modeling in Power BI, you can combine dispersed data from multiple sources, creating attractive and clear reports from them.
Creating multidimensional and authoritative reports requires the use of various data sources that must work together. Thanks to the powerful capabilities provided by modeling in Power BI, this is not only possible, but also simple and intuitive. Data in Power BI is combined using relationships. Taking advantage of the relationship between data sources, the tool allows to create attractive as well as valuable visualizations. Using data modeling capabilities, you can create customized, out-of-the-box calculations to display specific data segments.

Why is data modeling crucial?
In modern organizations, data is scattered across multiple systems – from ERP, through CRM, to Excel spreadsheets. Without proper data modeling, it is difficult to obtain a coherent picture of the situation.
Data modeling in Power BI allows you to combine different sources into a single analytical structure, which provides a more comprehensive view of business processes. It is thanks to the data model that reports gain context and analyses become precise and valuable.
Key data modeling features in Power BI
As part of data modeling in Power BI, you can:
- create relationships between data tables from different sources
- define your own measures and calculation columns
- filter and aggregate data according to business needs
- segment data by context (e.g. region, department, product)
- use DAX to create custom calculations
Also add an example of how it works in practice – e.g. combining data from Excel and the sales system (simplified, understandable).
Who will benefit from data modeling?
Data modeling in Power BI is not only used by IT specialists. The tool is designed for people who want to analyze data on their own without having to write code. It will be used by:
- department managers – gaining quick insight into key metrics
- analysts – creating advanced models and reports
- business users – combining data and drawing conclusions from ready-made visualizations
