Field Parameters vs Calculation Groups - which one to use in Power BI for a scalable solution

💡 Field Parameters and Calculation Groups are very powerful methods in Power BI that allows us to dynamically select measures but when it comes to picking one over another, it can be very challenging.

 

📺 In this NEW video, I will walk thru a real-time use case where both Field Parameters and Calculation Groups can get the expected result but as soon as we try to scale the solution, one of the methods will fail. Watch this video to learn and plan which of these two methods will work best to develop a scalable solution.
