From Raspberry PI to Power BI and DAX coding Tips & Tricks


Details
Key note speaker for Session 1:
Ben Watt
Ben is the Managing Director of Datalineo, a Dublin-based consulting business. Ben is a long-time Power BI user and has a long background in SQL Server, data warehousing and data visualisation.
From Raspberry Pi to Power BI and lots in between
In this session Ben will walk you through a home-made IoT project with the data ultimately landing in Power BI for visualisation.
A Raspberry Pi is the IoT device, with sensors and camera attached to give an end-to-end streaming solution.
You will see Python used to run the program and process the images. Microsoft Azure plays its part where Microsoft Cognitive Services enriches the images with facial attributes and recognition, Azure SQL stores the metadata, Azure Blob storage holds the images, Power BI visualises the activity and Microsoft Flow sends mobile notifications.
You'll see enough to walk out and get your own project started straight away!

Topic:
With Power BI becoming ever more popular, many have started developing their own PowerBI reports.
They quickly realise they now require a level of DAX coding knowledge to achieve their desired outcomes.
This session will be geared towards those taking their first DAX coding steps, with common challenges used as examples and their DAX solutions shown and explained by a Power BI consultant and MCT.
Ready to unleash the power of Power BI….
...then step into the world of DAX
