Dear Data Wizards

We are looking forward to inviting all of you to our next meetup. This time in remote Mode!

Topics:
What's New - Kristian
Lessons learned from optimizing enterprise data models - Nikola
Looking back - Denis & Kristian

The session will be recorded.

Lessons learned from optimizing enterprise data models
You know that DirectQuery performance sucks - but, what should you do when DirectQuery is the ONLY available option?
You know that high cardinality increases data model size - but, what should you do when your users want to analyze numbers on a granularity level higher than day? How to reduce the data model size, while at the same time satisfying business requirements?
You know that by leveraging composite models, you can gain significant performance improvements - but why do you still have DirectQuery queries even when you target the data from the aggregated table in Import mode?
In this session, I'll share tips, tricks and workarounds learned and implemented in real-life scenarios on enterprise data models.
As you may assume, this session is not for rookies - I'll expect that you already have at least intermediate Power BI/Tabular model knowledge.

Good to know
We want this group to be a safe environment that encourages open discussion, exchange of ideas and problems you may face. Therefore, we kindly ask that no members will leverage the information for unsolicited acquisitions of new customers or projects. This group builds on trust, and without it we cannot learn from each other and excel on this topic.

Want to be a presenter?
We are always looking for new speaker. If you are interested and would like to show something to the Power BI Meetup Group please feel free to contact us!
