ABSTRACT

Mastering Power BI Model Types - Import, DirectQuery, or Composite? - Gregor Prohaska

Whenever you start a new Power BI project, you must choose the right model type — a decision that shapes all the work that follows.

This session explores the world of Power BI model types, focusing on the differences between Import, DirectQuery, and Composite models. We examine the limitations, advantages, and requirements of each model to provide a clear decision guideline for when to use each one.

This session aims Power BI developers, data analysts, BI architects, and anyone interested in maximizing the efficiency and flexibility of their Power BI solutions.

By the end of this session, atttendees will

• know the main differences between Import, DirectQuery and Composit models
• be able to choose (wisely) the right model for a given task
• understand the impact on report design, user experience and governance

If you want to avoid classic model type mishaps, this session is for you. Make your users (and database admins) happy and choose wisely!
