most frequently using queries to organize data for visualization

I am new to this Power BI. My Management asked me work on PBI Reports. I have referred few Community Videos on Youtube and played with some sample data. I can say, this is a Most Power Tool. 

I have to work on large database (Oralce). It contains more than 40 tables. Can any one guide, what are the most using queries by you. Because, I am not familiar with advanced queries.

Please suggest me some tutorials and links in terms of different scenarious. So, I can get hand on the Queries stuff.

I guess, I have explained well. If not, please ask me. So, I will try to provide more information.

When retriveing data, you can just use T-SQL query to get the data. Power BI will generate Power Query which you can edit it in Query Editor (Advance Editor). For Power Query (M language), please see: Power Query (informally known as "M") Formula reference.

 

For retrieved dataset, you can use DAX to add measure and calculated column for your calculation. For DAX tutorials, please see: DAX basics in Power BI Desktop

Before I can recommend any resources, how familiar are you with relational databases?  Understanding how all of the tables relate to one another is crucial when working with BI.

Hi Dan,

 

Thank you very much for you reply.  Yeah, I have basic knowledge on relational database. I used to work on MS Access Queries.
