Combine Power BI with External Tools
In this session we will take a look into some external tools and how can they help us take the our development skills to another level.
From the creation of metrics to the deployment of models the usage of Power BI can be optimize using external tools.
This session is for intermediate users that already know their way into Power BI but want to increase their development skills and speed.
While developing in Power BI, there are some tasks that are time consuming. From the creation of metrics to the deployment of models the usage of Power BI can be optimize using external tools.
In this session we will take a look into some external tools and how can they help us take the our development skills to another level.
DAX Studio: How can we check the performance of our data model, or return the result of a DAX query.
ALM Toolkit: How to compare, update and deploy models.
Tabular Editor: How to automate the creation of metrics, changes measures and columns properties in a bulk or tweak some advance metadata in our model
Power BI Helper: How to see where a specific metric or column is used, create documentation automatically.

Prepare for Takeoff: Navigating Power BI Developer Mode - Is the Journey Worth the Flight?
The new Power BI Developer Mode changes dataset and report development, providing a faster, more accessible approach. This mode includes source control and seamless integration with DevOps and Fabric, making it an impressive tool for advanced users and IT professionals.
However, the good news is that you don't need to be a full-time developer or have an extensive IT background to benefit from this feature. In this session, I will demonstrate how you can take advantage of Developer Mode without the need for advanced integrations like DevOps and Fabric.
