How to make your Power BI Semantic Models faster! | Ashley Warren
Details
Tired of the dreaded "this report is slow" feedback? Sluggish reports and long refreshes are often symptoms of unoptimised models or hidden design flaws. In this session, I'll give you the practical toolkit to find and fix them
Join me for this demo-filled, intermediate-level session, where I will walk you through how to approach this scenario. We'll work through examples of poorly performing reports/models, identify the cause of the issue and discuss how they can be redesigned or optimised to help improve performance.
I'll show you how you can use tools like DAX Studio and Tabular Editor to identify and correct issues, leveraging keys features like Best Practice Analyser, VertiPAQ analyser & DAX Traces. We'll also dissect some of the most common causes of slow DAX queries & show you how to avoid them.
You’ll leave this session with the tools and skills to build faster, more efficient models and finally silence the "slow report" complaints.
