BI Flashes: Source Control, Slow Reports, Themes and Security

This month we're running a set of BI Flashes: four short talks, each one on a thing you've probably run into and worked around rather than solved.

Ashraf opens with source control in Fabric using Azure DevOps, for anyone whose version history is currently a folder of files ending in _v3_final. Thato follows with the question that shows up right before a demo: your Power BI report is slow, now what?

Sven has two. First, the new Theme pane, and what it means for anyone who has ever changed the same formatting setting on every visual in a report. Then a look at Power BI's row-level and object-level security alongside data security in OneLake, and where the line between them sits.

Come for one, stay for all four.

Agenda:

1. Source Control with DevOps in Fabric – Ashraf Sharaf
2. Your Power BI report is slow. Now what? – Thato Seluku
3. Easily Update Your Default Formatting Settings – Sven Vosse
4. Power BI Row Level and Object Level Security vs Data Security in OneLake – Sven Vosse
