Power BI: Large Datasets and Incremental Refresh - Tom Martens

Hi, Data Folks from Hamburg!

Here is the invitation for October 2024.

Attention!
We gained another great room sponsor: ERGON Datenprojekte! Don't worry; you won't have to figure out a complete new route for the evening, as the venue is virtually on the opposite street side of the Main Central Station Hamburg, in the city center.

• 18:00 Open door and warm up networking round
• 18:15 Intro
• 18:30 Power BI: Large Datasets and Incremental Refresh (Tom Martens)
• 20:00 Open discussion about the topic
• 21:00 The End...

Power BI - Large Datasets and Incremental Refresh
This session is about incrementally refreshing Power BI's large semantic models, but it also mentions new capabilities of the Power BI Premium Gen 2 architecture, like hybrid tables.
The session will conclude with a demonstration of incremental refreshes, including on-demand load, asynchronous refreshes, and hybrid tables. Then, the different methods of managing large models will be compared.
Last, I will explain why I emphasize this: "There is no incremental refresh without preparing for a future initial load."
