What we’re about
The Data Driven Community is a global and inclusive group of individuals with an interest in data and data platforms. Our focus includes the collection, storage, management, processing, and visualization of data both in the cloud and on-premises.
Our community offers two main activities: a weekly meeting of the “Cloud Data Driven” User Group and an annual “Future Data Driven Summit” conference.
We are focusing on sharing knowledge, learning, meetings and discussions about a wide range of topics such as data and data platforms, artificial intelligence and machine learning, DevOps, data engineering and analytics and more.
Our members come from diverse backgrounds and possess a wide range of skills - from occasional DBAs to senior administrators and experienced developers to big data analysts.
You can find us on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Meetup, and Eventbrite. For more information, please visit our website at: https://datadrivencommunity.com/

### Presentation Title: PowerShell Hacks for Power BI
#### Description
There's never a dull moment in the life of a Power BI Administrator. In order to protect our time and sanity, it's important to automate as many of our usual tasks and processes as possible. Additionally, since the top priority of the Power BI development team is the end user experience, there are many edge cases and "power user" type activities that cannot yet be accomplished using only Power BI Desktop and the Power BI web service. Fortunately, Microsoft has provided two priceless tools that allow us to automate and add functionality to Power BI: The Power BI REST APIs and the MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt module for PowerShell. This presentation will demonstrate several techniques for harnessing these powerful tools to make your job as a Power BI Administrator less time-consuming and more fun!
