Power BI Performance Troubleshooting | Jocelyn Porter and Daniel Szepesi

**Please note the earlier than usual start time because of the time difference with our presenter.

SESSION TRACK:
Power BI

SESSION OUTLINE:
First, we'll learn about some of the newest features and updates in Power BI with Joseph Yeates. Next, Daniel Szepesi and Jocelyn Porter will present on troubleshooting performance in Power BI, from Desktop to Log Analytics.

Troubleshooting performance on a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution can be very difficult. You don't own the machines anymore so how do you get to performance data? Power BI at its core is Analysis Services Tabular so some of the troubleshooting tools might be familiar to SQL performance people but it has some built-in capability to help isolate performance issues as well.

This session will include a discussion of Power BI architecture and then will be a demo-heavy walkthrough of using the Power BI Performance Analyzer, SQL Profiler and Azure Log Analytics to help isolate and resolve performance issues with Power BI.
