It’s dangerous to go alone—take Semantic Link Labs!

When users are the first to discover that a Power BI report is broken, the damage is already done. Trust is lost, adoption slows, and credibility suffers. Instead of wandering into these traps unprepared, what if you had the Master Sword in hand—ready to defeat broken models and guard against treacherous usability pitfalls? That’s the power of Semantic Link Labs.

In this session, we’ll set out on a quest through Microsoft Fabric notebooks and pipelines, using Semantic Link Labs as our weapon and shield against unreliable reports. Along the way, we’ll face down the “mini-bosses” of BI development:

* Reports that collapse due to structural changes
* Models that underperform because best practices were skipped
* Usability pitfalls that make reports “technically fine” but functionally broken for end users

You’ll learn how to install and configure Semantic Link Labs, explore its legendary features, and see how it integrates seamlessly into Fabric. We’ll then take it a step further, automating health checks and governance with notebooks and pipelines—turning one-time fixes into repeatable spells.

By the end of this adventure, you’ll uncover your own “Triforce of Best Practices”—a report that tracks the best practices of all semantic models in your environment. You’ll leave equipped with a map, a shield, and the Master Sword itself: the tools you need to keep your BI world in legendary shape, where broken reports are discovered early, performance issues are vanquished, and best practices reign supreme.
