My Power BI report is slow – What should I do? With Marco Russo
Description: Join our Microsoft Power BI - UK User Group for our monthly webinar in association with Onyx Data (onyxdata.co.uk). This month we are excited to announce our host Leon Gordon will be introducing the BI God Marco Russo for a Q&A session. Please watch this exclusive YouTube video - https://youtu.be/NzI0lXT_6U4 and provide the questions that you would like to ask Marco in the event discussion section BEFORE the event. My Power BI report is slow: what should I do? You created a wonderful Power BI report, but you wait too much time when you open it. Changing a slicer selection is also slow. Where should you start analyzing the problem? What can you do to optimize performance? This session will guide you in analyzing the possible reasons for a slow BI report. Using Power BI Performance Analyzer and DAX Studio, you will determine whether you should change the report layout or if there is something in DAX formulas or the data model is responsible for the slow response. At the end of this session, you will understand how to locate a performance bottleneck in a Power BI report so that you will focus your attention on the biggest issue.

Description: ANGELA HENRY (Blue Granite, Microsoft MVP) - Understanding DAX – It’s All About the Context | How many times have you created a Power BI report and gotten an unexpected or inconsistent result, then spent an absurd amount of time trying to figure where the result came from? This happens with almost everyone when they start writing DAX. The key to understanding DAX is context, evaluation context. This session won’t provide the magic bullet to becoming a master at DAX, but will help you understand evaluation context, so the next time you create a measure, the result will be not only consistent, but expected.
