Agenda:

Advanced Analytics: Association Rules Step by Step
Market basket analysis with T-SQL, R, Python, and Power BI. You will learn how to recognize good products, products which raise the sales of other products, and toxic products, products which are usually sold alone or are the last product in the basket, thus finishing the shopping. Measures like support, confidence and lift, are explained in details. Sequential basket analysis is covered as well. Demos are developed step by step in T-SQL, in order to show how the calculations are made. Then you will see demos also in other languages and on other platforms.

Power BI Visual Calculations – Making DAX easier
This is it. The day that the way that DAX became easier. After this, how you write DAX changes forever. Learn all about it in this session! The Power BI team has been working on exciting things related to DAX calculations, specifically targeted at making it easier to add typical business-type calculations (such as running totals or vs-first). Would you believe it if we told you that you don’t even have to type DAX anymore and still be able to get complex calculations done quickly? In this session, we will talk about this exciting new feature!
Join this session to learn more about this new feature which will make writing DAX statements so much easier and faster. Get ready to get your mind blown! See the future, today.
