Title:

Scale your Power BI reporting with Dataflows

Summary:

In this session, I'll take you on my journey to a business intelligence solution for small and medium-sized businesses. We start with a classic on-premises solution based on Microsoft SQL, move on to a Power BI only solution, which we then extend with Dataflows. Finally, there is an outlook on how the solutions could be extended in the future.

Abstract:

Insight into the original on-premises solution with MS SQL Server, based on SSIS, SSAS, SSRS and Excel.

Description of the new cloud native Power BI only solution. Using Power BI Desktop as ETL, modeling and visualization tool and deployment in Power BI Service.

Concept for extending the Power BI only solution with Power BI Dataflows for a multi-company scenario. Experiences from the implementation and what to consider when using Power BI Pro licensing.

Finally, a few ideas are shared on how to further extend the solution using Power BI Premium, Azure Data Lake, Azure Synapse or Azure Analysis Services.

Writeback Commentary in Power BI via Power Apps

-
Upgrade your commenting game by writing comments directly on a Power BI report page Most dashboards lack any kind of qualitative explanation that would enhance the experience for the end-user. This is especially important in executive dashboards where managers want to read some explanations why something has happened, why is some KPI below the plan, and so on. There are a couple of ways how to implement dynamic commentary in Power BI, but only one of them allows users to write the comments directly on a Power BI report page. In this session, we will demonstrate how to build a Power App for dynamic commentary, how to include it into a Power BI report, and roll it out. The Power App will then react to filters and allow users to write back their comments directly in Power BI. We’ll show you how to do it step-by-step: 1. Create a table for the comments 2. Include the table into the Power BI model 3. Build a PowerApp  Registration : writeback-commentary-power-apps-webinar
