This year was my first time speaking at PBIG, the largest Power BI Community Event
My session, titled ‘Using Tabular Editor and best practices to speed up Power BI development – a live demo’, was aimed at speeding up your Power BI Semantic Modelling efforts using Tabular Editor.
I started with a few slides on the background of semantic models, Tabular Editor, and best practices and then we jumped right into the practical demo.
The session was so popular, people were sitting on the ground and even sent off because the room was full. That’s awesome and I’m so thankful for all the interest in my session.
Using Tabular Editor and best practices to speed up Power BI development – a live demo
Level up your Power BI modelling skills with this practical session.
While setting up a Power BI Semantic Model can easily be done using Power BI Desktop, some of the tasks can feel like a tedious grind. Are you sick of clicking 4 buttons to change the settings of 1 measure, only to do it 20 more times for all the other measures in your model?
Join me for a live demonstration of how I use Tabular Editor in order to massively speed up this process.
The combination of adhering to best practices and automation using Tabular Editor will greatly improve both the quality of work and the speed in which I can deliver models.
After attending this session, people will have a working understanding and examples to start practicing on their own projects right away. We will learn:
1. Best practices for data ingestion: The most efficient ways to get data into Power BI
2. Mastering naming conventions: not only will they make your model easier to understand, naming conventions are also key to automations
3. Bulk measure creation and editting: save time and hundreds of mouse clicks!
4. Automatic model cleaning: using code to automatically hide columns, set data types and more!
5. Best practice analyzer: use this free tool to further improve your models.
