Dear Data Wizards,

We’re coming together again in Lausanne on June 4th, starting at 18:30, to continue the conversation around Power BI and Microsoft Fabric.

We’ll be talking about a serious topic: "Deploying a Semantic Model Without Human Sacrifice: Myth or Reality?"
The session will be led by Zikrija Saric and Loïs Loriot, who will share their experience at Vaudoise Assurances and show how they moved toward a more structured deployment process for semantic models and reports. They will also explain why now is a good time to explore this topic, with a new generation of tools making this process more accessible than ever.

Agenda:
- 18:15: Doors opening

Data Quality Testing
A hands-on introduction to data quality in the data warehouse context. The session highlights why data quality is business-critical, outlines different types of tests, explains the distinction between syntactic and semantic validations, and demonstrates how to integrate a step-by-step testing strategy into existing data pipelines. Covering everything from quick wins to advanced monitoring approaches, in a tool-agnostic manner.

Introduction to DAX User Defined Functions (UDFs)
A user-defined function is a DAX formula with parameters that can return values or tables. Parameters can be passed by value or by expression. In this session, you will learn how to define and consume user-defined functions in your semantic model, how to share them in different models, and how to use function libraries created by the community!

Sponsor
We are happy to share that this meetup is kindly sponsored by our partner Altyca, who is hosting the apéro for this event.
A big thank-you to Altyca for supporting the Fabric & Power BI community and helping us create a great setting for learning, discussion, and networking.

Good to know
We want this group to be a safe environment that encourages open discussion, exchange of ideas and problems you may face. Therefore, we kindly ask that no members will leverage the information for unsolicited acquisitions of new customers or projects. This group builds on trust, and without it we cannot learn from each other and excel on this topic.
