In this intermediate-level course, you’ll learn how to model and secure financial data in Power BI using real-world business scenarios. You’ll start by importing General Ledger, Cost Center, and Budget data, then design a star-schema model that supports accurate, high-performing analytics. Through guided demos and hands-on practice, you’ll define relationships, create DAX measures for Gross Margin, and validate your model structure for reliable reporting. Next, you’ll apply Row-Level Security (RLS) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to ensure sensitive data stays protected as you publish to Power BI Service. Along the way, you’ll explore how modeling and security intersect—where table structure influences filter logic and access rules affect collaboration. By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence to build, test, and deploy Power BI dashboards that are both powerful and secure, ready for real enterprise environments.
