REID HAVENS (Havens Consulting) - Bedazzling Your Power BI Bookmarks & Buttons

Bookmarks and Buttons are two of the best ways to add web-like user experiences into Power BI reports. Bookmarks can help create a more seamless filter and navigation experience. Buttons can both be used with bookmarks, but can also be leveraged for a lot of other report functionality and navigation.

MIMOUNE DJOUALLAH - Building a Low Cost, Near Real-Time Pipeline Using BigQuery / Power BI

For a project we needed to extract data that changed every 5 minutes. At that time Power BI Premium Per User licensing was not available, thus we end up using BigQuery as a low cost solution (less than 1$/Month). This demonstration will walk through the approach used to build the ETL process (Storage, Python Functions, Dataform, and BigQuery ). I will show different scenarios on how to visualize the results in Power BI via Import mode, Direct Query or both using composite models, and a preview of the new BI Engine.
