Or if databases are more your thing (I've read some of your replies) Maybe some examples how to manage a lot of data? Various DB systems, or performance tricks and why those work? Or some 'under the hood' explanations as to *why* some things work like they do? Looking forward for more video's :)

    @thorstenl.4928 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this great bunch of well put together Information.
    For intelligent keys I have three rules I follow.
    - only use it, if there is a real (and known) value in the usage of the ID later
    - only use it, if you can‘t achieve this value on a better way (e.g. no suitable field in a given database available)
    - only use inherent and unalterable information in this id (as you mentioned e.g. date of birth.)
    If you have to use this method with a changable information, try to make it an unalterable property. E.g. if you put the information in a materialnumber if you buy it or manufacture it (m-123, b-739…), think of creating a new dataset when this changes (like a buy and a manufacture version) but keep in mind that you might have to maintain both datasets or think of setting an expired flag on the old one.
    As you can see this almost always opens a can of worms.

    This is a great video, I could understand a lot of things that I was seeing and never asked before because I thought they were that way at random. I would like to see more videos on DAX as I find it challenging but I have the conspiracy theory that giving trainings on DAX can infringe copyright somehow. .The complex thing about DAX is how DAX behaves depending on the context of where it's used within Power BI and it's differences from regular Excel Power Pivot DAX models

    • @decomplexify
      @decomplexify  2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Thanks! Actually my background is in business / systems analysis, translating user requirements into solutions. Just purely by chance, I got assigned to a lot of "data" projects and ended up specializing, without ever really intending to, in data modelling and in writing extract/transform/load (ETL) functional specs - especially in the context of data warehouses. There's a side of me that's very logical and precise and also very focused on communicating meanings clearly, all of which maybe accounts for why I find database design to be an interesting pursuit (& also why I like the challenge of finding ways to explain the concepts to others!)
