It's not about #MicrosoftFabric😊
It's about #PowerBI performance tuning, but it's not about optimizing #DAX to get better performance😉
#PowerBI is full of "unsung heroes"! One of them, the Analytics panel, combined with changing the visual type, helped me significantly improve the performance of the Power BI report!
Topics covered:
1. What is Microsoft Fabric (and what does it have in common with the football team😉)?
2. What are the key pillars of Microsoft Fabric?
3. Why DirectLake for Power BI is (potentially) a REAL revolution?
4. Lakehouse, Warehouse...Understanding different "houses" in Microsoft Fabric
5. How much will it cost you?
6. What now for Azure Synapse Analytics?
