[DataModeling] Tip DAX para autoreferencia o recurrencia de tabla

Hace tiempo que no nos sentrabamos en acompañar un escenario de modelado. En esta oportunidad, nos vamos a enfocar en como resolver una situación de auto referencia o recurrencia de tabla. Suele ocurrir que una tabla puede tener ids o claves de referencia para si misma y las formas de resolverlo pueden variar.

En este artículo, vamos a mostrar como valernos de DAX para resolver un esquema jerárquico corporativo que ayude a develar un organigrama organizacional basado en niveles o posiciones/cargos superiores.

Contexto

Entre las formas de modelar bases de datos transaccionales, buscamos normalizar los datos para evitar la redundancia lo más posible. Así es como pueden aparecer escenarios donde hay tablas que van a referenciarse a si mismas. Esto quiere decir que podemos tener una clave foránea apuntando a una clave primaria. Para no abordar tanta teoría veamos un ejemplo que ayude a enfocar el caso.

Nos enviaron un requerimiento que pide detallar un organigrama o estructura jerárquica en la organización que permita explorar la cantidad de empleados según distintos focos de mando. Piden que la información sea explorable, puede ser una matriz o árbol del siguiente estilo:

Árbol de decomposición

Matriz

Supongamos que tenemos una tabla de Empleados en nuestra base de datos. La organización tiene un gran volumen de personal, lo que hace que naturalmente haya una estructura jerárquica con cargos de mando o de management. Todas las personas institucionales forman parte de la tabla empleados fila por fila. Sin embargo, necesitamos guardar información sobre la persona a la cual responden. Aquí aparece la auto referencia. Para resolver esta operación en vistas de base de datos transaccional, será más performante y menos costoso delimitar una nueva columna que autoreferencie a otra fila en lugar de otras tablas para los cargos pertinentes. Veamos como quedaría una tabla con la nueva columna:

Fíjense que la columna id_superior pertenece a un id_empleado de otra fila. Cuando esto ocurre, estamos frente a un caso de auto referencia.

Dependiendo el proceso y escenario a delimtiar en nuestro modelo semántico, puede ser resuelto de distintas formas. Podríamos generar fact factless que orienten un mapeo de quienes responden a quienes o podemos tomar esta tabla como dimensión y generar columnas que representen el mando jerárquico como columnas categóricas de la dimension.

Este artículo se enfocará en la segunda solución. Vamos a generar columnas categoricas que nos ayuden a construir algo semejante a lo siguiente:

La idea es generar columns por cantidad de niveles jerárquicos que se presenten. Si bien la mejor solución es implementarlo lo más temprano posible, es decir en un warehouse, lakehouse o procesamiento intermedio; aquí vamos a mostrar como crear las columnas con DAX.

Vamos a crear una columna calculada de la siguiente manera:

Level1 = LOOKUPVALUE( Empleados_Jerarquia[Nombre] , Empleados_Jerarquia[id_empleado] , PATHITEM( PATH ( Empleados_Jerarquia[id_empleado], Empleados_Jerarquia[id_superior]) , 1 , INTEGER ) )

Vamos a nutrirnos de tres funciones para generar un recorrido dentro de la misma tabla.

LOOKUPVALUE: Esta función busca un valor en una columna específica de una tabla, basándose en criterios de búsqueda. En este caso, está buscando el nombre de un empleado con criterio de igualdad entre id_empleado que mapee al id_superior de la fila actual.

PATH: Esta función crea una cadena que representa la jerarquía de empleados, utilizando los id_empleado y id_superior. Busca los ID y los separa por Pipes. Entonces por ejemplo en la fila de ID = 5 de Joaquín. El resultado de Path será "1|2|5" representando que los ID de sus superiores son primero el empleado 2 y luego el empleado 1.

PATHITEM(..., 1, INTEGER): Esta función toma la cadena generada por PATH y extrae un elemento de ella. En este caso, está extrayendo el primer elemento (el id del empleado que está en la posición 1). Aquí, el 1 se refiere a la posición que queremos extraer (el primer ítem en la jerarquía). Si Joaquín tenía 3 valores, vamos a buscar el de la primera posición, en este caso "1".

Resultado: lookupvalue buscara el nombre del empleado con ID 1 para la columna.

Esta función podríamos replicarla para cada nivel. La función antes vista traería el primero de la cadena, es decir la dirección de la empresa. Para llegar al siguiente nivel cambiamos el parametro de pathitem de manera que traiga el segundo resultado de Path en sus pipes.

Level2 = LOOKUPVALUE( Empleados_Jerarquia[Nombre] , Empleados_Jerarquia[id_empleado] , PATHITEM( PATH ( Empleados_Jerarquia[id_empleado], Empleados_Jerarquia[id_superior]) , 2 , INTEGER ) )

En primera instancia esto parecería resolverlo. Este sería nuestro resultado:

Esta puede ser una solución directa si solo queremos navegar por nombres de personas en cadena (filtramos Level5 <> Blank). Sin embargo, si también quisieramos conocer la cantidad de personas que tienen a cargo, es necesario contar a la persona al mando como parte del equipo, sino generaríamos una cadena de "Blanks" como pueden ver en niveles del 2 al 5. Esto lo podemos corregir copiando el nivel anterior cuando ocurre un blanco.

Level2 = VAR __lvl2 = LOOKUPVALUE( Empleados_Jerarquia[Nombre] , Empleados_Jerarquia[id_empleado] , PATHITEM( PATH ( Empleados_Jerarquia[id_empleado], Empleados_Jerarquia[id_superior]) , 2 , INTEGER ) ) RETURN IF ( ISBLANK(__lvl2) , Empleados_Jerarquia[Level1], __lvl2 )

De esa forma el equipo de Laura (primera) cuenta con tres gerentes y si misma al conteo total de empleados.

Las visualizaciones pueden ser construidas por cada nivel como columnas categóricas de las dimensiones:

Así mismo podría usarse el nombre del cargo como nombre de columna para ver la pirámide institucional de una manera más sencilla.

De esta forma llegaríamos al resultado esperado y mostrado en la primera imagen de requerimiento.

Ojala esta solución les sirva para resolver situaciones de modelado recursivo. Recuerden que si podemos ejecutar esto en SQL en nuestra capa de transformación, sería lo mejor para construir la dimensión. Como siempre pueden descargar el archivo de ejemplo de mi GitHub.

Data Modeling Techniques and Power BI

Data modeling is a crucial aspect of creating effective reports and dashboards in Power BI. In this article, we'll explore various data modeling techniques that can be applied in Power BI.

Star Schema Modeling

In Power BI, you can create a data model using the star schema approach. This involves having a central fact table that is surrounded by dimension tables. Star schema models make data querying and analysis in Power BI simpler. They provide a denormalized structure that is optimized for reporting, which enables users to easily aggregate and analyze data across dimensions.

Snowflake Schema Modeling

Power BI mainly supports star schema modeling. However, you can use snowflake schema modeling by establishing relationships between normalized tables. It's important to manage performance implications carefully. Snowflake schema models can help save storage space and maintain data integrity, especially for large datasets with complex relationships.

Dimensional Modeling

Power BI is a data analysis tool that supports dimensional modeling. This involves arranging data into dimensions (which contain descriptive attributes) and facts (which contain numerical measures). By doing this, it simplifies data analysis and enables users to easily drill down into specific aspects of the data. Power BI's functionality for creating hierarchies is in line with the principles of dimensional modeling.

Normalized Modeling

Power BI is best suited for star schema modeling, but you can still use normalized modeling by creating separate tables for related entities and establishing relationships between them. Normalized models are useful for transactional systems as they help maintain data integrity and reduce redundancy. However, querying normalized models in Power BI may require more complex DAX expressions.

Data Vault Modeling

Power BI is capable of handling multiple related tables and establishing relationships between them, which makes it a great tool for implementing certain elements of Data Vault modeling. This modeling technique is known for its flexibility and scalability, making it a good choice for handling data requirements that may change over time. In addition, Power BI's incremental data loading capabilities align well with Data Vault modeling principles.

Hybrid Modeling

Power BI offers the flexibility to combine various modeling techniques, such as star schema and snowflake schema, to cater to specific business requirements. Hybrid modeling enables you to take advantage of the strengths of different modeling techniques while reducing their limitations. For instance, you can use a star schema for most reporting needs while implementing a snowflake schema for specific dimensions with complex hierarchies.

Agile Modeling

Agile modeling principles can be applied iteratively in Power BI as you refine your data model based on user feedback and evolving business requirements. This approach ensures that your Power BI reports and dashboards remain aligned with business objectives and user needs, allowing for continuous improvement and adaptation.

Designing robust data models that support insightful analysis and reporting for organizations is made possible by understanding data modeling techniques and applying them within Power BI.

Next year will be Big Tech’s finale. Critique of Big Tech is now common sense, voiced by a motley spectrum that unites opposing political parties, mainstream pundits, and even tech titans such as the VC powerhouse Y Combinator, which is singing in harmony with giants like a16z in proclaiming fealty to “little tech” against the centralized power of incumbents.

Why the fall from grace? One reason is that the collateral consequences of the current Big Tech business model are too obvious to ignore. The list is old hat by now: centralization, surveillance, information control. It goes on, and it’s not hypothetical. Concentrating such vast power in a few hands does not lead to good things. No, it leads to things like the CrowdStrike outage of mid-2024, when corner-cutting by Microsoft led to critical infrastructure—from hospitals to banks to traffic systems—failing globally for an extended period.

Another reason Big Tech is set to falter in 2025 is that the frothy AI market, on which Big Tech bet big, is beginning to lose its fizz. Major money, like Goldman Sachs and Sequoia Capital, is worried. They went public recently with their concerns about the disconnect between the billions required to create and use large-scale AI, and the weak market fit and tepid returns where the rubber meets the AI business-model road.

It doesn’t help that the public and regulators are waking up to AI’s reliance on, and generation of, sensitive data at a time when the appetite for privacy has never been higher—as evidenced, for one, by Signal’s persistent user growth. AI, on the other hand, generally erodes privacy. We saw this in June when Microsoft announced Recall, a product that would, I kid you not, screenshot everything you do on your device so an AI system could give you “perfect memory” of what you were doing on your computer (Doomscrolling? Porn-watching?). The system required the capture of those sensitive images—which would not exist otherwise—in order to work.

Happily, these factors aren’t just liquefying the ground below Big Tech’s dominance. They’re also powering bold visions for alternatives that stop tinkering at the edges of the monopoly tech paradigm, and work to design and build actually democratic, independent, open, and transparent tech. Imagine!

For example, initiatives in Europe are exploring independent core tech infrastructure, with convenings of open source developers, scholars of governance, and experts on the political economy of the tech industry.

And just as the money people are joining in critique, they’re also exploring investments in new paradigms. A crop of tech investors are developing models of funding for mission alignment, focusing on tech that rejects surveillance, social control, and all the bullshit. One exciting model I’ve been discussing with some of these investors would combine traditional VC incentives (fund that one unicorn > scale > acquisition > get rich) with a commitment to resource tech’s open, nonprofit critical infrastructure with a percent of their fund. Not as investment, but as a contribution to maintaining the bedrock on which a healthy tech ecosystem can exist (and maybe get them and their limited partners a tax break).

Such support could—and I believe should—be supplemented by state capital. The amount of money needed is simply too vast if we’re going to do this properly. To give an example closer to home, developing and maintaining Signal costs around $50 million a year, which is very lean for tech. Projects such as the Sovereign Tech Fund in Germany point a path forward—they are a vehicle to distribute state funds to core open source infrastructures, but they are governed wholly independently, and create a buffer between the efforts they fund and the state.

Just as composting makes nutrients from necrosis, in 2025, Big Tech’s end will be the beginning of a new and vibrant ecosystem. The smart, actually cool, genuinely interested people will once again have their moment, getting the resources and clearance to design and (re)build a tech ecosystem that is actually innovative and built for benefit, not just profit and control. MAY IT BE EVER THUS!

Data Analysis: Turning Information into Insight

 In nowadays’s digital age, statistics has come to be a vital asset for businesses, researchers, governments, and people alike. However, raw facts on its personal holds little value till it's far interpreted and understood. This is wherein records evaluation comes into play. Data analysis is the systematic manner of inspecting, cleansing, remodeling, and modeling facts with the objective of coming across beneficial information, drawing conclusions, and helping selection-making.

What Is Data Analysis In Research 

What is Data Analysis?

At its middle, records analysis includes extracting meaningful insights from datasets. These datasets can variety from small and based spreadsheets to large and unstructured facts lakes. The primary aim is to make sense of data to reply questions, resolve issues, or become aware of traits and styles that are not without delay apparent.

Data evaluation is used in truely every enterprise—from healthcare and finance to marketing and education. It enables groups to make proof-based choices, improve operational efficiency, and advantage aggressive advantages.

Types of Data Analysis

There are several kinds of information evaluation, every serving a completely unique purpose:

1. Descriptive Analysis

Descriptive analysis answers the question: “What happened?” It summarizes raw facts into digestible codecs like averages, probabilities, or counts. For instance, a store might analyze last month’s sales to decide which merchandise achieved satisfactory.

2. Diagnostic Analysis

This form of evaluation explores the reasons behind beyond outcomes. It answers: “Why did it occur?” For example, if a agency sees a surprising drop in internet site visitors, diagnostic evaluation can assist pinpoint whether or not it changed into because of a technical problem, adjustments in search engine marketing rating, or competitor movements.

3. Predictive Analysis

Predictive analysis makes use of historical information to forecast destiny consequences. It solutions: “What is probable to occur?” This includes statistical models and system getting to know algorithms to pick out styles and expect destiny trends, such as customer churn or product demand.

4. Prescriptive Analysis

Prescriptive analysis provides recommendations primarily based on facts. It solutions: “What have to we do?” This is the maximum advanced type of analysis and often combines insights from predictive analysis with optimization and simulation techniques to manual selection-making.

The Data Analysis Process

The technique of information analysis commonly follows those steps:

1. Define the Objective

Before diving into statistics, it’s essential to without a doubt recognize the question or trouble at hand. A well-defined goal guides the entire analysis and ensures that efforts are aligned with the preferred outcome.

2. Collect Data

Data can come from numerous sources which includes databases, surveys, sensors, APIs, or social media. It’s important to make certain that the records is relevant, timely, and of sufficient high-quality.

3. Clean and Prepare Data

Raw information is regularly messy—it may comprise missing values, duplicates, inconsistencies, or mistakes. Data cleansing involves addressing these problems. Preparation may include formatting, normalization, or growing new variables.

Four. Analyze the Data

Tools like Excel, SQL, Python, R, or specialized software consisting of Tableau, Power BI, and SAS are typically used.

5. Interpret Results

Analysis isn't pretty much numbers; it’s about meaning. Interpreting effects involves drawing conclusions, explaining findings, and linking insights lower back to the authentic goal.

6. Communicate Findings

Insights have to be communicated effectively to stakeholders. Visualization tools including charts, graphs, dashboards, and reports play a vital position in telling the story behind the statistics.

7. Make Decisions and Take Action

The last aim of statistics analysis is to tell selections. Whether it’s optimizing a advertising marketing campaign, improving customer support, or refining a product, actionable insights flip data into real-global effects.

Tools and Technologies for Data Analysis

A big selection of gear is available for facts analysis, each suited to distinct tasks and talent levels:

Excel: Great for small datasets and short analysis. Offers capabilities, pivot tables, and charts.

Python: Powerful for complicated facts manipulation and modeling. Popular libraries consist of Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn.

R: A statistical programming language extensively used for statistical analysis and statistics visualization.

SQL: Essential for querying and handling information saved in relational databases.

Tableau & Power BI: User-friendly enterprise intelligence equipment that flip facts into interactive visualizations and dashboards.

Healthcare: Analyzing affected person statistics to enhance treatment plans, predict outbreaks, and control resources.

Finance: Detecting fraud, coping with threat, and guiding investment techniques.

Retail: Personalizing advertising campaigns, managing inventory, and optimizing pricing.

Sports: Enhancing performance through participant records and game analysis.

Public Policy: Informing choices on schooling, transportation, and financial improvement.

Challenges in Data Analysis

Data Quality: Incomplete, old, or incorrect information can lead to deceptive conclusions.

Data Privacy: Handling sensitive records requires strict adherence to privacy guidelines like GDPR.

Skill Gaps: There's a developing demand for skilled information analysts who can interpret complicated facts sets.

Integration: Combining facts from disparate resources may be technically hard.

Bias and Misinterpretation: Poorly designed analysis can introduce bias or lead to wrong assumptions.

The Future of Data Analysis

As facts keeps to grow exponentially, the sector of facts analysis is evolving rapidly. Emerging developments include:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning: Automating evaluation and producing predictive fashions at scale.

Real-Time Analytics: Enabling decisions based totally on live data streams for faster reaction.

Data Democratization: Making records handy and understandable to everybody in an business enterprise

The fast-paced world needs data access and a real-time data activation flywheel. Artificial intelligence that integrates directly into the data environment and works with intelligent agents is emerging. These catalysts open doors and enable self-directed, rapid action, which is vital for success. This flywheel uses Google's Data & AI Cloud to activate data in real time. BigQuery has five times more organisations than the two leading cloud providers that just offer data science and data warehousing solutions due to this emphasis.

Examples of top companies:

With BigQuery, Radisson Hotel Group enhanced campaign productivity by 50% and revenue by over 20% by fine-tuning the Gemini model.

By connecting over 170 data sources with BigQuery, Gordon Food Service established a scalable, modern, AI-ready data architecture. This improved real-time response to critical business demands, enabled complete analytics, boosted client usage of their ordering systems, and offered staff rapid insights while cutting costs and boosting market share.

J.B. Hunt is revolutionising logistics for shippers and carriers by integrating Databricks into BigQuery.

General Mills saves over $100 million using BigQuery and Vertex AI to give workers secure access to LLMs for structured and unstructured data searches.

Google Cloud is unveiling many new features with its autonomous data to AI platform powered by BigQuery and Looker, a unified, trustworthy, and conversational BI platform:

New assistive and agentic experiences based on your trusted data and available through BigQuery and Looker will make data scientists, data engineers, analysts, and business users' jobs simpler and faster.

Advanced analytics and data science acceleration: Along with seamless integration with real-time and open-source technologies, BigQuery AI-assisted notebooks improve data science workflows and BigQuery AI Query Engine provides fresh insights.

Autonomous data foundation: BigQuery can collect, manage, and orchestrate any data with its new autonomous features, which include native support for unstructured data processing and open data formats like Iceberg.

Look at each change in detail.

User-specific agents

It believes everyone should have AI. BigQuery and Looker made AI-powered helpful experiences generally available, but Google Cloud now offers specialised agents for all data chores, such as:

Data engineering agents integrated with BigQuery pipelines help create data pipelines, convert and enhance data, discover anomalies, and automate metadata development. These agents provide trustworthy data and replace time-consuming and repetitive tasks, enhancing data team productivity. Data engineers traditionally spend hours cleaning, processing, and confirming data.

The data science agent in Google's Colab notebook enables model development at every step. Scalable training, intelligent model selection, automated feature engineering, and faster iteration are possible.
