(Livestream Replay) Fabric & Power BI: Awesome Use-Cases with DAX Query View - with Zoe Douglas

DESCRIPTION 📄

Join us live as we dive into the world of Microsoft Fabric! In this session, Zoe will walk you through the process of creating semantic models using three powerful approaches: Direct Lake, Import, and DirectQuery (DQ). We'll explore how each of these methods can be utilized within Microsoft Fabric to build robust and scalable models tailored to your data needs.

But that's not all—once we've crafted these models, I'll demonstrate how you can leverage them to write efficient DAX queries using the DAX Query View. Whether you're new to Microsoft Fabric or looking to refine your skills, this demo will provide valuable insights and practical techniques you can apply to your projects.

Bring your questions and curiosity, and let's explore the possibilities together!
