@maxfayele,

If you want to load data from the Excel file into Power BI Desktop , just use Excel connector in Power BI Desktop, after importing data, you are able to develop reports to analyze these data.

In addition, to better understand dimensions and facts, please review the following blog.

Hi,

sorry,

but PowerBI isn't a DWH 🙂

Maybe look for Books from 

Ralph Kimball and others

 

I'm sorry.  I misspoke.

I mean, how do I load data in a dimension table and fact table of the star schema starting file excel?

Thank you in advance

I'm sorry.

I dont understand your question.

Have you understand the main concepts of Data Modelling with dimensions and facts?
