Hybrid Tables in Power BI | Shabnam Watson
Hybrid Tables in Power BI Hybrid tables, a new addition to Power BI, are a game changer in that they provide the best of both worlds by allowing one table to have two storage modes at the same time! Before the introduction of Hybrid tables, each table in Power BI could only have one storage mode: Import which loaded data entirely into Power BIโs memory or DirectQuery which left data in the back-end data source. When working with near real time requirements, Power BI developers had to use tables with DirectQuery; however, DirectQuery by itself could result in less than optimum query performance for large datasets and put a burden on the backend system. Hybrid tables combine the two storage modes and therefore provide improved query performance for historical data by loading them into memory (Import) and provide near real time capability for recent data (DirectQuery). Join this session to learn about different table storage modes in Power BI including the newest Hybrid option and how to use it.

As a Power BI developer you write DAX, M but should you learn Python as well? While there are limited use cases for using Python directly in Power BI, in this session Sandeep will show you how you can use Power BI in your development workflow. He will show how you use can use Python for analyzing Power BI datasets, debug DAX, find insights faster, and even for Power BI administration. As lakehouse architecture patterns become common you should strongly consider adding Python to your tool chest. Sandeep will also share resources to learn Python for data analysis. **No prior Python experience is required to attend this session. ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฝ๐๐๐- ๐๐๐๐ง๐ค๐จ๐ค๐๐ฉ ๐พ๐ค๐ข๐ข๐ช๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐ฎ: https://bit.ly/3IAg7xT ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ: https://bit.ly/32tGkif ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ง๐๐ข ๐พ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ก: https://t.me/PersianPBIUG ๐๐ค๐ช๐๐ช๐๐: https://bit.ly/3hk20RL Language: EnglishCOUNT vs COUNTA vs COUNTX in Power BI DAX | Aggregation Functions | Episode 2
