Fabric Real-Time Intelligence for Power BI ProsSQLBits 2025

Power BI into Fabric, Real-Time Intelligence into Fabric. If you’re wondering “why should I or my organization care about Fabric Real-Time Intelligence?” In this demo-led session, we’ll start our journey investigating the capabilities of Fabric Real-Time Intelligence from a Power BI Pro's desktop, discover a catalog of streaming sources in your organization, create new data streams, re-shape data, land data in a data store, and eventually build a Power BI report. What will this PBI report use? Direct Lake or DirectQuery? And can you visualize real-time event data on a Power BI report? Is there another option to visualize continuously arriving event data? And do you need to keep watching the visuals or can you automate alerts and actions oriented business workflows? Join this session to find answers to these questions.
