DESCRIPTION 📄

From using SVGs or DENEB to create unique visuals, to page level security with RLS - workarounds are often necessary to overcome limitations and achieve desired functionalities in Power BI. However, these workarounds come with their own set of costs and considerations. This session discusses the key factors to help developers evaluate workarounds in Power BI, ensuring that the benefits outweigh the potential drawbacks.

To do this, we will explore some real-life workarounds in Power BI such as code-based Custom Visuals (DENEB, SVGs, HTML, Python), Page level security, and storing a custom PowerQuery library in Github. We will also dive into the trade-offs involved, including maintainability, impact on development, and technical debt.
