Becoming a Master Builder: Creating the Ultimate BI Toolbox
Speaker: Reid Havens
Workshop Details
While Power BI Desktop serves as a robust platform for report and semantic model development, its true essence is realized when supplemented with a suite of specialized tools and online resources.
This presentation delves into the vast array of external tools, web-based solutions, and in-product modeling/reporting features—tailored to elevate your BI development endeavors.
Avoid Data Silos! Best Practices for Implementing Shared Semantic Models
Speaker: Reid Havens
In this presentation, we will explore how to create effective shared semantic models in Power BI and how to manage them in the Power BI Service. Shared semantic models can help reduce the cost and complexity of fragmented data, also known as data silos, within an organization. By using shared semantic models, developers can save time and resources by only having to maintain a single semantic model instead of multiple unique ones. Additionally, shared semantic models can prevent discrepancies and ensure consistent logic across reports. We will also cover how to configure semantic models for enhanced user experiences, enable row level security (RLS) to protect sensitive data, publish semantic models for optimal sharing and distribution, and promote or certify semantic models for increased exposure.
Visualization Magic in the Age of Numbers & Science
Speaker: Reid Havens
Power BI is a great sandbox environment for report design. However, knowing how to leverage visuals and features in a way that adds additional value can be challenging. New visualizations and features can be created a number of ways including: layering visuals, customizing visual formatting, and/or utilizing DAX measures. The session will include a series of visualization and reporting techniques that you'll be able to leverage in your company's reports to take them to the next level.
