Short summary

Power BI tutorial on connecting scattered data through joins, relationships, and schemas using a bookstore example. Covers six join types (inner, left/right outer, full outer, anti joins) and their effects on result sets. Explains three relationship types (one-to-many, many-to-many, one-to-one) and recommends star schema design for optimal report performance.

• •Six join types return different row combinations; selecting the wrong join corrupts reports
• •Relationships at model level enable table interaction in three types: one-to-many, many-to-many, one-to-one
• •Star schema (central fact table + surrounding dimension tables) improves performance and readability
