20768: Developing SQL Data Models Training is aimed at professionals to teach them the techniques to implement both tabular and multidimensional data modules. In this technical course, professionals will learn to create dimensions, cubes, measure groups, and measures. Our enterprise training program is best for large companies and organizations. It teaches individuals to create a multi-dimensional database using analysis services and enables them to use MDX syntax. This training program also helps professionals develop a conceptual understanding of the architecture, components, and nature of a BI solution. By the end of the course, trainees will learn to utilize data mining for predictive analysis, customize a cube, and implement dimensions. This training program is suitable for data analysts and power information workers who want to build credibility. It is also ideal for individuals who are preparing for exams 70-768.
This training is designed based on the objectives of the course variant 20768C.
Prerequisites for this training
- Knowledge of Microsoft Windows operating system and core functionality
- Experience of querying data using Transact-SQL
- Knowledge of relational databases
