This course will teach you how to design a dimensional model according to the Kimball guidelines of creating start models for analyzing data. This model has been around for a very long time to create datawarehouses, but now you can use this for Excel Power Pivot. If you use this model for the structure of your tables, Power Pivot will give you great, flexible results.

At the end of this course you will know how to design and implement the model, fill it and use it. There are three demos in this course that show you how you can put the model to work and how to fill it.
