Topic: AZURE ANALYSIS SERVICES: WHY IT MATTERS FOR POWER BI USERS

Are you getting close to the maximum size of a Power BI model? Do you need more control over when data refresh takes place? Do you need incremental data refresh? If so, it might be time to migrate your model to Azure Analysis Services.Join Chris Webb (https://ukpowerbisummit.com/chris-webb/)for this session to explore Azure Analysis Services. You’ll learn what Azure Analysis Services is, how it works, how it is licensed and how future integration with Power BI is likely to work.

He’ll also explain what tools Microsoft has that can help you, from the older SQL Server BI tools (Integration Services, Reporting Services, Analysis Services) to the new Power BI suite and how that ties in with what’s available in Excel.
