    Anonymous you can go many ways and I been into this situation many times:

     

    - usually, I start with data model to understand how good/bad that is 

    = what are data sources?

    - how the model is used import/DQ and what?

    - how often data get refreshed?

    = internal/external users?

    = how artifacts are distributed?

     

    = visualization and measures and all that stuff comes very late for me. I like to understand all the internals before getting into this visualization and DAX, if these are the problem area, I still need to understand the model and data source and data refresh policy.

     

     

    I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
