On December 19th, Alex travelled from The Frogplex to Bristol to present a session at the Bristol Fabric & Power BI User Group. The focus of his presentation was on Power BI Composite and Advanced Models

.

The session explored how to effectively leverage these advanced techniques to handle large datasets within the Power BI environment. This includes combining diverse datasets into a single report through composite models, directly querying data from existing datasets while incorporating custom logic and data, and utilizing Fabric’s Direct Lake mode for seamless integration with large data sources.

By attending this session, users gained valuable insights into how to:

  • Handle big data: Effectively work with large datasets within the Power BI environment.
  • Enhance flexibility: Layer custom logic and data over existing datasets to gain deeper insights and tailor analyses to specific needs.
  • Leverage Fabric’s power: Harness the capabilities of Fabric to optimize data integration and analysis within Power BI.

These advanced modelling techniques empower users to create more sophisticated and insightful reports that drive better business decisions.

Great session, Alex!
