# **Das Treffen ist offen für w/m/d Personen.** Die Selbsthilfegruppe Berlin Prenzlauer Berg findet diesmal ausnahmsweise am Sonntag von 16:00 bis 18:00 statt. Zum Thema: **„Ja“ zu mir selbst – Die Kunst, freundlich „Nein“ zu sagen** Fällt es dir manchmal leichter, anderen einen Gefallen zu tun, als auf deine eigenen Grenzen zu achten? Oft sagen wir „Ja“, um niemanden zu enttäuschen – und zahlen am Ende mit unserer eigenen Energie. In unseren zwei Stunden wollen wir gemeinsam herausfinden, warum uns ein „Nein“ oft so schwerfällt und wie wir es lernen können, ohne schlechtes Gewissen Grenzen zu setzen. Wir arbeiten lösungsorientiert, wertschätzend und mit einer Prise Leichtigkeit. Du gehst nicht nur mit neuem Wissen, sondern mit konkreten „Micro-Skills“ für deinen Alltag nach Hause.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
