    The modeling of dimensions and fact tables of this fictitious tech company is very helpful on practicing and developing skills in two aspects: 1) Modeling different tables with inactive relationships, and 2) Creating measures using inactive relationships and challenging your thinking on different measures for employee´s attrition analysis. As a bonus, the exercise on intermediate data modeling gives an introduction on how to improve the aesthetic of the different pages of the report, including a practical navigational set of buttons to move around all the pages.
