Event 2 — Microsoft Fabric User Group Pune Building Enterprise-Grade Semantic Models in Power BI & Microsoft Fabric Part 1 *** You've built Power BI reports. You know DAX. But are your semantic models truly production-ready? In this session we go beyond the basics — covering what it actually takes to design semantic models that your entire organisation can rely on at scale. From writing efficient DAX logic to locking down data access, optimising query performance, and managing your model through its full lifecycle — this is the session for BI developers ready to level up. What we'll cover: Designing DAX logic that's clean, consistent, and maintainable Performance tuning — diagnosing and fixing slow queries Row-Level Security and object-level security for governed data access Automated lifecycle management — deployments, versioning, and CI/CD for semantic models This session is best suited for you if: You've built reports in Power BI and are comfortable with the basics You understand DAX — measures, calculated columns, and how they behave You have a grounding in dimensional modelling — star schemas, relationships, and grain *** Date:4th July 2026 Time:12:00 PM Online — link will be shared soon Free to attend *** Microsoft Fabric User Group Pune — Learn. Share. Grow. *meetup.com/microsoft-fabric-user-group-pune*
