Configuring Fields with Perspectives for Shared Datasets in Power BI

Video by: Reid Havens

Learn how create and access perspectives for Power BI Datasets. Perspectives allow you to configure the visibility of all dataset fields per perspective to fit multiple audience needs. This is really useful for more complex models where multiple audiences would only need to see a subset of the fields contained in the master dataset. Unlock these secrets using Tabular Editor, and composite modeling. Tune in to learn more!

(Livestream Replay) Building Multi-language Reports for Power BI - with Ted Pattinson

DESCRIPTION πŸ“„

Power BI has a history which has made it challenging to build reports that support multiple languages. Fortunately, enhancements to Power BI over the last year have reduced this challenge making it more attainable to Power BI content creators. As an example, Power BI added support for the USERCULTURE function which provides the ability to write measures which implement report label translations dynamically. Power BI enhancements to the report designer now provide more flexibility to bind measures with dynamic translations to visuals and shapes so they can be surfaced on report pages. Furthermore, the recent introduction of Field Parameters in Power BI now offers a far more elegant and efficient strategy to implement data translations.

In this Livestream session, Ted Pattison will discuss how to get started with multi-language report development. Attendees will learn about the three different types of translations involved with multi-language report development as well as the techniques used to implement them. Ted will demonstrate using the Translations Builder utility to automate repetitive localization tasks that would take forever to complete manually. This session will provide content creators using Power BI Desktop with a better understanding of how all the pieces fit together and with a path forward for building multi-language reports in Power BI using a strategy that is reliable, predictable and scalable.
