Indy BI User Group Meeting

Welcome to our Indy BI PASS User Group meeting!

Presenter: Jason Romans

Topic: Power up your Fabric Development with DAX Studio and Tabular Editor

Abstract: Whether you are just starting on your Power BI Journey or an experienced Power BI developer these tools enhance your development and analysis of your data. This session will cover connecting to Power BI Desktop, Power BI Premium Workspaces, and Fabric Workspaces to meet you where you currently are. DAX Studio and Tabular Editor are part of the study guide for the DP-600 exam for Fabric, so this is the perfect time to start learning how to put them to good use.

The first tool we will look at is DAX Studio. Its strength is being able to analyze your data separately from Power BI and Fabric. You can use it to quickly gather statistics about multiple semantic models. Has a user reported that one of the reports is running slow? You can use DAX Studio to do DAX performance tuning to make it faster.

The second tool is Tabular Editor 2. It gives you the ability to check to see if your models are following best practices. You can make changes to your models whether they are running in Power BI Desktop, Power BI Premium, or Fabric Workspaces. With Tabular Editor you can use scripts to automate changes that if done manually could take days.

These are just some of the topics we will cover as we learn how valuable these tools can be. This session will have the greatest benefit to someone new to DAX Studio and Tabular Editor regardless of where you are on your Fabric journey.

Please RSVP so we can order the appropriate amount of food for our gathering!
