To add to Melissa’s response, I would say the following:
Watching the Enterprise DNA videos will provide you a great foundation but alone will only take you so far. Watching videos is an inherently passive experience, and needs to be reinforced by lots and lots of repetition.
Your Enterprise DNA membership provides you three awesome ways to get those reps:
- Participate in the Data Challenges – and to maximize your learning, once you take a look at the specific challenge, set a number of practical learning goals for your entry. For example, I’m going to: 1) utilize conditional page navigation; 2) implement a decomposition tree analysis; 3) use calculation groups for my time intelligence measures.
Be sure to stretch yourself into new areas, even at the risk of failing on some of your stretch goals. An amazing example of this was @Alex7891’s entry in Data Challenge #11
-
Participate in the Problem of the Week – and not only work to provide your solution on the problem, but also review the other solutions that come in and learn from their approaches, since often there are many different ways to tackle the same problem in PowerBI.
-
Start Providing Solutions on the Forum – look for questions that you can answer, and also ones you have to stretch your knowledge to try to resolve. You may not actually get to a solution on these latter ones, but you will learn a ton in the process and when the solution is posted it will be a lot more meaningful to you.
To borrow a quote from Alberto Ferrari, all three of these things are simple but not easy. However, I 100% guarantee if you put in the time and effort to do these three things you will progress quickly in your Power BI skills.
Good luck in your journey!
