Common challenges for Data Analysts

Do any of the following sound familiar? You can find sessions at SQLBits to help you succeed with the following common workplace challenges:

  • Slow or overly complex Power BI models? Learn how to optimise performance and scale semantic models effectively.

  • DAX that works… but doesn’t scale? Discover deeper analytical patterns and smarter modelling approaches.

  • Dashboards that inform but don’t influence? Explore advanced visual design and storytelling techniques.

  • Managing large datasets in Fabric or hybrid environments? Understand modelling, governance, and performance best practices.

  • Pressure to “add AI” without clarity on how? See practical applications of Copilot, AI-assisted analytics, and modern data experiences.
