Course Overview

The Microsoft course Data Analysis with Multidimensional Modelling is designed for BI developers, data analysts, and database administrators seeking to master advanced data modeling techniques for enterprise business intelligence solutions. This course specifically prepares learners for the skills measured in Exam 70-768: Developing SQL Data Models, which was part of the MCSE: Data Management and Analytics certification path. Focused on implementing multidimensional and tabular data models, it equips professionals with the expertise to design OLAP cubes and semantic models that drive data-driven decision-making. With over 80% of Business Intelligence Specialists holding certifications, mastering this curriculum enhances credibility and aligns with industry demand for robust analytics capabilities in modern data platforms.

Students engage with core Microsoft technologies including SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), MDX (Multidimensional Expressions), DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), and the Azure Analysis Services environment. Through hands-on labs conducted in the SQL Server Data Tools interface, learners build and deploy multidimensional databases, configure data source views, and implement dimensions, measures, and measure groups within OLAP cubes. A key project involves creating a fully functional multidimensional model using the Adventure Works sample database, where students define attribute hierarchies, implement slowly changing dimensions, and apply security roles, simulating real-world BI solution deployment scenarios in a controlled lab environment.

This training prepares candidates for Microsoft’s MCSE: Data Management and Analytics certification, a credential recognized for validating deep expertise in enterprise data modeling and analytics solutions. Certified professionals report median salaries of $125,000 annually in the United States, reflecting strong market value and career advancement potential. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning journey with official Microsoft courseware, expert-led instruction, and a Guaranteed-to-Run schedule, ensuring learners gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools. Upon completion, graduates are positioned to transition into senior BI developer or data analyst roles, driving strategic insights through scalable, secure, and high-performance analytical models.
