Best practice to design a Power BI solution

[Anonymous]

Hi,

some years ago, I studied briefly how designing a BI solution by Qlikview and I was hit by creating as a first step an initial QVD file in order to manage inside it the data loading from the various data sources and as a next step creating a second QVD file to read from the first one and to report data.

For Power BI, could this desing approach a good one? Or does it exist a better approach to consider a best practice?

Many thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

Current power bi can only get data from datasource, I don't think it is possible to load you qlikview contents to power bi. 

In my opinion, I think you can use power bi do same operations.(get data from different data sources and use these to create visualizations)

BTW, I'm not familiar with qlikview, so I'm not so sure if qlikview contains any edit features.(power bi not contains write back features to to edit source data)

Hi,

I have never spoken to read a QVD file from Power BI.

I've mentioned to the Qlikview design approach in order to derive a set of best practices about Power BI solution design.

HI @Anonymous,
