Dynamic Measures in Power BI give you the ability to change the measures being displayed in your Power BI visuals at the click of a button. But why should you implement them in your Power BI reports? And how do you create them? This session aims to answer these questions, including a variety of methods for creating Dynamic Measures together with the pros and cons of each technique.

Session 2 - Power BI Composite and Advanced Models - Alex Whittles Take Power BI to the next level to support BIG data, as well as layering logic over the top of an existing cube or dataset for unlimited flexibility.
