Solving common issues with calculation groups in DAX

How to use calculation groups to solve practical problems and implement common patterns in Tabular models and Power BI reports.
Calculation groups are a DAX feature to intercept and change the behavior of any measure in a Power BI or Analysis Services model. This session shows how to use calculation groups to solve practical problems and implement common patterns. For example, how to inject filters in all the measures of a report, combine multiple time intelligence calculations leveraging different calculation items, select arbitrary combinations of measures and calculation groups in a matrix, and more. Basic knowledge of calculation groups is a prerequisite to attending this session in a proficuous way.
