πŸš€ Day 40 of My Data Analytics Journey !

 Today was a mix of SQL clarifications and Power BI exploration. I’m slowly connecting the dots between data storage and visualization.

🟒 SQL Learnings:

  • Local vs Global Variables β†’ Understood how scope works in SQL for query execution.
  • Composite Key β†’ Learned how multiple columns together can act as a unique key in relational databases.

πŸ”΅ Power BI Learnings:

From my handwritten notes today πŸ“’, I explored:

  • Measures β†’ How to generate and use them effectively.
  • RankX β†’ Expression to rank data based on filters.
  • Date Table β†’ Creating a calendar table using CALENDAR() and adding columns like Year, Month, etc.
  • KPI β†’ Learned that sample KPIs are already available, useful for yearly reports.
  • Variables in DAX β†’ Using them improves performance and makes queries readable.
  • Data Shaping & Modeling β†’ Key step before visualization.
  • Publishing Reports β†’ Explored Microsoft login usage for publishing dashboards.

⚑ Optimization Insight:

  • Optimizing model performance is crucial for handling large datasets.
  • DAX Studio helps in debugging and checking performance.

πŸ“Š Each day, I feel my foundation in SQL + Power BI is getting stronger. Excited to dive deeper into DAX queries and performance tuning next! πŸš€
