In this video, we are going to explore how disconnected tables in Power BI can help solve complex business problems. Although a strong data model is key to success for scalable reporting, there are times when you cannot achieve the results with an optimized data model and have to think out of the box.
What is a disconnected table: In #powerbi, disconnected tables play a crucial role in enhancing data modeling and analytical capabilities. These tables are used to create relationships between data, but unlike traditional relationships, they don't affect the filtering of other tables in the data model. This unique characteristic provides several valuable benefits:
👉Solving Complex Business Problems
👉Custom Hierarchies
👉User-Driven What-If Analysis
👉Parameter Tables
In summary, disconnected tables in Power BI offer unparalleled flexibility and interactivity, allowing users to tackle complex business challenges, perform dynamic analyses, and customize data views without altering the core data relationships.
