Shared Semantic Models
- 1 year ago
the number of reports sharing the same model is not a problem per se.
We have dozens of report sharing the same Model on multiple customers' scenarios.
As GilbertQ said you must follow best practice when you design it:
- star-schema
- import mode preferred
- import only needed data (3 milion rows is not a big deal, 56 columns... do you really need of all them?)
- use correct data types
- pay attention to DAX you write in measures
- do not put too much visual in the same page because each of them will rise a query against the model (or use visuals that optimize this like multiple-row card instead of 50 cards for example)
- etc...
Hi GilbertQ,
Thank you very much for the information. I'm considering using a semantic model to develop five different reports, and I wanted to understand whether I might face any performance issues in terms of interactivity.
In terms of the data model, we're using a star schema: one calendar table, one currency table, and a fact table. The fact table has around 3 million rows and 56 columns.
Do you think I could run into any problems?
