Hey everyone!
If you’re attending EU_FabCon Barcelona 2026 and happen to be Romanian (or just want to meet some awesome Romanians), we’re organizing an informal Romanian Networking Meetup on Tuesday Sep 29th!

📍 Location: Community Lounge
⏰ Time: 12:00 PM

This is a casual meet-up to connect, share ideas, and help each other feel more at home at the conference. The goal is for everyone to meet so we can recognize each other in sessions, say hi in the hallways, and maybe even sit or walk together throughout the event.

We also want to take a group photo to mark the occasion! 📸

Everyone’s welcome, whether you’re attending alone or with others.
Hope to see some of you there! Drop a comment if you’re interested.

===============================================================

Description:

Whether you're looking to level up your Power BI game or bridge the gap between beginner and advanced DAX techniques, this session is for you!

This session dives right to the heart of evaluation context and the logic behind CALCULATE().
Understanding how these concepts work together behind the scenes is essential for unlocking the full potential of DAX.

We will work through DAX calculations that demystify how row context, filter context, and CALCULATE() work together to produce dynamic results.

By the end of the session, you'll have the confidence to tackle advanced calculations, optimize performance, and bring actionable insights to your report readers.

A basic understanding of DAX is helpful.
