Overview

Database normalization
Example Sales Table
Data normalization is the process of transforming data into an efficient and robust form for storage and analysis. The
benefits of normalization can be summarized as:
• Protects data integrity
• Reduces storage space
• Easier to maintain
• Improves query speed
Can you see any potential problems with the above table?

This table has four key problems:
• Product group and colour are repeated between the 2nd and the 3rd line items.
• We have no way to identify these orders with a unique number.
• By displaying the date over columns, we have to store unnecessary 0’s.
• This is a sales table, so all attributes should describe the sale. Product color describes the product!

Date Dimension Table
Normalizing the Sales Table
• Fact tables contain things we measure, and
any attributes that describe the sale.
• Dimension tables add detail and therefore
describe fact table attributes in more detail.
• Metrics (sales) appear in a single column
• Sales attributes describe the sale
• All other attributes are separated into
dimension tables
• No information is repeated
• All tables have a unique identifier for each
row.

Aggregation

Steps Directions
9
Check Data Types
- Change the date column to date time
- Then change to date
Date column > Transform Tab > Data Type > Date / Time
Date column > Transform Tab > Data Type > Date
10
More Issues with Dates
- Investigate the errors in the Date table
- Delete the date / time step
- Change type using Locale (after Pivot step)
Notice that 57% of date rows are errors
Delete in the Applied Steps area
Click on Pivot Col Step > Right click Date col > change type using Locale > Date/Time UK
11
Thinking about Accessibility
- Copy the CSV file path from the advanced
editor
- Create a parameter to hold the file path

Applied Steps
Use these steps as a guide to follow along with the videos.
Lesson Title Directions
A Simple Line Area Chart - Create a simple line chart showing sales by date
Explicit Measures
- Create an explicit measure SumSales = sum(Sales[Sales])
- Change the table name to SalesFactTable
- The formula will now read SumSales = sum(SalesFactTable[Sales])
- In the line chart, swap the sales column for the SumSales metric
Chart Formatting
Explore the formatting pane to modfify the line chart
- Title text, Title Font Size, Font Color, Background Color
- Delete title placeholder and resize Chart
- Y-Axis Title to Sales $ USD, Grid lines darker grey
- Data Colors to CFI Orange (FA621C)

The Profit and Loss Statement (P&L)
• The P&L is a summary of a company’s incoming and outgoing transactions.
• Transactions can be summarized into two categories: income and expenses.
• Those summaries help us calculate standard metrics, which allow us to evaluate the financial health of a company.
Income Revenue $
Expense Cost of Sales $
Gross Profit $
Gross Margin %
Expense Wages $
Expense Rent $
Expense Other Costs $
EBIT $ or %

Applied Steps
A Simple Matrix
- Delete the title bar for P&L Breakdown by Period
- Add a matrix visual
- Add SumSales to the Values area
- Place Date in the columns
- Change the grid color
- Change the matrix title, color and size
Iterative Formulas like SUMX
- Create a new measure
GM$ = sumx(SalesFactTable,[Sales]*[Margin])
Working with Multiple Measures in a Matrix
- Add GM$ into the matrix
- Show values on rows : Formatting > Values > Show On Rows
- Change the formatting of SumSales to have no decimal places
- Change the formatting of GM$ to have no decimal places
- Rename how the measures appear in the visual to Sales & GM
Create COS and GM% Measures
- Create two new measures:
COS = [SumSales] – [GM$] format with 0 decimal places
GM% = [GM$] / [SumSales] format as % with 2 decimal place
Add both measures to the matrix
KPI Cards
- Add a KPI card to the top left quadrant
- Add SumSales to the card
- Format in millions, and adjust the data value size
- Copy the card and display GM%
- Copy the card a second time
Use these steps as a guide to follow along with the videos.

What is DAX?
DAX is used to write formulas in Power BI, but also in Power Pivot for Excel. These formulas can help us create, aggregate or summarize
data in our reports. DAX formulas can be categorized into one of two groups: Calculated Columns and Measures.

“Column headers
can be used to
segment analysis
and create context
in our reports.”
“Measures react to the
change in context, by
adding up the
corresponding rows in our
fact table above.”

DAX – Key Points
DAX Calculated
Columns
Are used to create new
data, for every row in
our data table.
DAX
Measures
Are used to aggregate
or summarize several
rows in our data table.
Context
Defines the scope of
the current calculation.
We can introduce
context using any
values in our table.
DAX
Is a language used by
Power BI to help us
create new data, and
perform calculations.

Power BI – The Date Dimension

The Date Dimension
Tasks
01. Create a re-usable date table
using start & end dates.
Skills
02. Slice our visualizations
interactively using date data.

Applied Steps
Defining Start and End Dates for our Date
Table
Define New Source in the Power Query Editor > Blank Query > Advanced Editor
let
StartDate = Date.From(“01/01/2017”),
EndDate = Date.From(“12/31/2019”)
In
Source
Creating a table of consecutive dates
let
StartDate = Date.From(“01/01/2017”),
EndDate = Date.From(“12/31/2019”)
FullDates = List.Dates(StartDate, Number.From(EndDate) –
Number.From(StartDate)+1,#duration(1,0,0,0))
In
FullDates
- Convert the resulting list to a table. Leave the options as default.
- Rename the column to date.
- Change the column type to date
- Rename the table to DateDim
Adding Descriptive Date Columns Part 1 Add a column for Year, Quarter, Month and Week number
Adding Descriptive Date Columns Part 2
Add a custom column for QuarterID with formula =Text.From([Year])&”Q”&Text.From([Quarter])
Add a custom column for MonthID with formula =Text.From([Year])&”M”&Text.From([Month])
Add a custom column for WeekID with formula =Text.From([Year])&”W”&Text.From([Week])
Close and Apply the query
Use these steps to define the date table in Power Query.

Applied Steps
Creating Relationships to Enable the Date
Dimension
- Remove SalesFactTable[Date] from the Line Chart
- In the relationship view, creating a relationship between the Date column of each table.
- Add DateDim[Year] to the line chart
Creating a date hierarchy
- Right click on DateDim[Year] in the fields area
- Create hierarchy
- Drag QuarterID and WeekID into the hierarchy
- Replace DateDim[Year] with the new date hierarchy
- Sort the timeline by QuarterID ascending
Working with Two Charts - Replace the dates in the matrix with the date hierarchy (in columns)
Adding a Slicer
- Add a date slicer from the visualization pane
- Add the date hierarchy (year) to the slicer
- Change the options using the drop down, and select Drop down
- In formatting pane, change the selection controls to single select
- Disable the slicer header and place the slicer in the top right of the page
- Turn the slicer background off
- Change the items background to BLUE and the font color to WHITE
Modifying chart interactions - Edit the slicer interactions so that it doesn’t affect the timeline
Copying slicers across pages
- Copy the slicer onto both other pages
- Click SYNC
Use these steps to bring the date table functionality into your dashboard.
