About this Masterclass

Advanced Semantic Modelling in Power BI goes far beyond creating relationships and measures. 

It’s about designing a business-ready, scalable, and performant semantic layer that can support self-service analytics, AI features, and enterprise governance.

Target Audience
Senior Power BI Developers, Data Architects, Fabric Engineers, BI Leads
Outcome
Design, optimize, govern, and scale enterprise semantic models using Power BI & Microsoft Fabric

02

What You'll Learn

In this advanced live workshop of Semantic Modelling in Power BI, you'll master building enterprise-scale, performant semantic layers that support self-service analytics, AI features like Copilot, and governance across Power BI and Microsoft Fabric.

Core Concepts: Understand what defines a mature semantic model—business-friendly, scalable, reusable, secure, and AI-ready—going beyond basic relationships and measures.

Data Modeling Patterns: Implement star schemas with surrogate keys, role-playing dimensions, fact table designs (transaction, snapshot, accumulating), and proper many-to-many handling via bridge tables.

Relationship Management: Optimize single vs. bi-directional filtering, inactive relationships for role-playing, and avoid performance pitfalls like overuse of bi-directional filters.

Advanced DAX Techniques: Create calculation groups for time intelligence, currency, and scenarios (reducing measures by 60-90%); design base/derived measures; use context controls like TREATAS, USERELATIONSHIP, and CROSSFILTER.

Performance Optimization: Apply VertiPaq tweaks (reduce cardinality, integers over text), aggregations, incremental refresh, hybrid tables, and composite/Direct Lake models for large datasets (>100M rows).

Security Features: Build static/dynamic row-level security (RLS) with USERPRINCIPALNAME() and bridge tables; apply object-level security (OLS) for sensitive data.

Governance and Reusability: Use shared/certified datasets, naming standards, display folders, deployment pipelines, ALM with Git/XMLA, and tools like Tabular Editor, DAX Studio, and VertiPaq Analyzer.

AI and Fabric Readiness: Prepare models with descriptions, synonyms, hidden technical columns, and custom calendars for Copilot, Q&A, and Fabric integration.

Best Practices and Pitfalls: Avoid common mistakes like fact-as-dimension, excessive calculated columns, or logic in visuals; follow a structured learning path from fundamentals to real-world case studies.

Live ETL Designing & Development Framework

The ETL and data modelling session by Rahul are exceptional. His structure and layer approach to teaching ensures that you don't just learn the basics, but truly understand the core principles. Re-watching the recordings has added immense clarity to my concept. A fantastic instructor and great learning journey!

Live ETL Designing & Development Framework

I highly recommend Rahul Neekhra as an instructor for the Live ETL Designing & Development Frameworks Masterclass. His way of explaining concepts is clear, structured, and easy to understand. What I particularly liked was the practical, real-world approach he brought to the sessions rather than focusing only on theoretical concepts. Rahul made complex ETL concepts easier to understand through relevant examples and patiently addressed questions throughout the sessions. The masterclass gave me a much better understanding of ETL design principles, development frameworks, and how they are applied in real projects. Overall, it was a very informative and valuable learning experience, and I would definitely recommend Rahul to anyone looking to strengthen their ETL and data engineering fundamentals.
