(Livestream Replay) Level Up your Power BI Game with Field Parameters! - with Nikola Ilic

DESCRIPTION 📄

Game changer! How many times you’ve heard this when a new feature hit the Power BI ecosystem? But, not all of these features lived up to these high expectations. Field parameters don’t belong to that group, as they truly changed the way we’re building our Power BI solutions.

In this demo-packed session, you’ll learn what are Field parameters, in which scenarios they’ll become your “best friend”, and how to solve some of the most common challenges related to Field parameters implementation (who said, the selected value of the field parameter and conditional formatting).

(Livestream Replay) Fabric Lakehouse Hell...or Glory?!? - with Tom Martens

DESCRIPTION 📄

During the last months, we have heard a lot about Microsoft Fabric and how it will change the analytical landscape. How it will help solve the most demanding analytical challenges.

It has become simple to create a lakehouse in seconds, or two, or a hundred. How will we organize our Fabric workspace? Do we have one workspace with three lakehouses (bronze, silver, and gold), or do we have three workspaces? Next to the number of workspaces, what about the capacities? Will a solution “own” multiple capacities, or only one or two, and share compute power with other teams, utilizing the idea of the share economy? Here, I want to share some early thoughts, including aspects of data architectures like data mesh and data fabric.
