Event Details: Date: 29 August 2026 Time: 6:30 PM IST Speaker: Natarajan Manivasagan | LinkedIn Profile About the Event: Microsoft has shipped MCP servers for Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, opening up a new way for AI agents to work directly with semantic models and workspace items. This session is a practical introduction to integrating these new capabilities into your workflow. We will explore what MCP is, how to set it up, and what it makes possible in real work - from semantic model development to workspace management through natural language. What we will cover: The Fundamentals: What MCP is and how it differs from a traditional REST API. Microsoft's Offerings: An overview of the available MCP servers for Power BI and Fabric, and the specific use cases for each. Setup & Integration: How to configure these servers with the tools you already use. Real-World Applications: Managing semantic models and workspaces using natural language. Honest Boundaries: A realistic look at the current limitations of this public preview so you can avoid wasted effort. Who should attend: Power BI Developers Data Analysts Data Engineers Anyone looking for a grounded view of how AI agents fit into a real data workflow Are you based out of India?

Event Details: Date: 19 September Time: 11:00 AM IST Speaker: Naveen Nagar | LinkedIn Profile About the Event: In today's data-driven world, organizations increasingly need to make sense of high-volume, fast-moving data - sensor telemetry, clickstreams, transactions, and logs - before the opportunity to act on it passes. Join us for this technical meetup as we explore Fabric Eventhouse, Microsoft Fabric's purpose-built engine for real-time analytics. This session will move beyond traditional batch pipelines to demonstrate a modern, low-latency data architecture where streaming data is captured, indexed, and made queryable within seconds. We will walk through a complete real-time data flow - from a live streaming source, into Eventhouse, and out to every consuming engine in Fabric via OneLake - without data duplication or performance trade-offs. What we will cover: Architecture: An end-to-end walkthrough of a real-time pipeline built on Fabric Eventstream, Eventhouse, and OneLake. Eventstream & Ingestion: How Eventstream captures, transforms, and routes streaming events from sources such as Azure Event Hub, IoT Hub, and CDC connectors into Eventhouse. Eventhouse & KQL Database: How KQL databases automatically index and time-partition data on arrival, and how update policies and materialized views enrich and aggregate data as it lands. OneLake Availability: How a single copy of streaming data becomes instantly available to Power BI, Warehouses, Notebooks, and Lakehouses through OneLake, eliminating the need for separate ETL copies. Live Demo: A practical, live walkthrough showing data flow from a streaming source, through Eventstream, into Eventhouse, out to OneLake, and into a live Power BI report in near real-time. This session is designed for: Data Engineers & Architects working with streaming data Power BI Developers & Fabric Users Analytics teams building real-time or near-real-time dashboards Anyone evaluating Microsoft Fabric's Real-Time Intelligence capabilitiesPower BI Summer Days Tunisia 2026

Starting with data from multiple source systems, we'll build a Medallion architecture, orchestrate data pipelines, transform data using notebooks, and deliver business insights through Power BI while discussing key design decisions along the way.Azure Infrastructure for the Power BI Data Consumer
Access denied, connection could not be established - this is exactly what you want to see when trying to connect to your data sources on Azure! With more and more data sources being hosted in the cloud and specifically on Azure, it has become more relevant to understand the different data services on Azure, as well as the options for connecting to these data sources. In this session we will walk through the different data sources in Azure, the different ways to connect to these data sources and what you need to consider when working in Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service. You will be smoothly connecting to all your Azure data sources in no time!Why Do My DAX Formulas Return Wrong Results?

In this session, you will learn how to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes when building calculations using DAX within Power BI. We will explore 10 different DAX calculation examples that return unexpected results and learn how to avoid them, and how to fix them. Through solving these mistakes, you will also learn and brush up on your DAX fundamentals such as Evaluation Context, Iterators, Context Transitions, and Expanded tables concepts.Budget Allocation with Seasonality - Power Query & DAX Techniques
In this session, we will look at a common budget allocation problem that involves seasonality. Seasonality has a major influence on many businesses. The ability to factor in seasonality in budgets and forecasts could help to create clear and meaningful comparisons with actuals. Allocating a high level budget to lower levels of granularity, on the other hand, can be difficult. I'll demonstrate how to split seasonal budgets utilizing Power Query. This will allow us to compare the budget on a quarterly, monthly, and even daily basis. At the end, I'll demonstrate how to use dynamic DAX calculations for effective budget-to-actual comparisons.
