Paul Barnhurst maps financial modeling principles onto Power BI: separate inputs, logic, and outputs into Power Query, the semantic model, and reporting layers. Start with the audience and the problem you're solving, not the tool.
The principles of good financial modeling are the same principles of Power bi. It's that separation of inputs, logic and output. Power BI does that almost automatically, right? With your power query, your reporting layer and your semantic model layer. And also the other thing I'd say on that is you really need to focus not on the tools, right? But focus on the problems. Focus on who your audience is and what problems they have and what insights they need, right? And if you're from a finance background yourself, this will really help.
