The Adventure Works DW 2020 Power BI Desktop sample model is distributed by Microsoft for learning and training purposes. The model is available as a (binary) PBIX file here: https://github.com/microsoft/powerbi-desktop-samples/tree/main/DAX. The data sources defined in the file are not publicly accessible. Instead, a user would need to restore a database backup to one of their own SQL servers and adjust the connection settings in the model.
This repo changes the distribution in two ways:
- The PBIX sources are provided instead of the binary PBIX file
- The underlying data tables have been extracted into CSV files and made available in a publicly accessible location. The model has been changed to fetch data from that location.
A fully functioning and refreshable PBIT file can be generated from sources in this repo alone using pbi-tools.
- Conceptual documentation for the model: https://aka.ms/dax-docs-samples
