I am a data lover, especially in the ecosystem of Microsoft tools. I primarily focus on Power BI, Azure Synapse, and Azure SQL. In general, I follow a very simple motto.
"Don´t say it cannot be done, or someone who doesn´t know it will come and do it."
I am a co-founder and a Lead Technical Consultant at DataBrothers. We are Power BI experts and consultants with a focus on data analysis, reporting, and training in Power BI. We work with our clients across the globe on developing custom solutions and training their users on all levels (from business to development).
Štěpán Rešl's Sessions
Orchestration best practices in Microsoft FabricSQLBits 2026
Join me for a session on mastering orchestration within Microsoft Fabric. Discover best practices for scheduling and managing your data workflows. We will be talking about native schedulers for items like semantic models, dataflows, notebooks, etc, and why using only these can bring you into specific issues that can be handled more elegantly and efficiently. Explore how to effectively schedule components with multiple dependencies like pipelines and notebooks while addressing common challenges such as dependency control and parametrization. Learn why pipelines are great for managing complex workflows, offering superior control over dependencies and execution. Finally, dive into the power of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) in tools like Apache Airflow and see how they excel at orchestrating notebooks and why this is a crucial part of orchestration in the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem. Whether you’re building pipelines and notebooks or preparing complex reporting solutions with dependencies between semantic models or between Fabric items, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to achieve efficient and scalable orchestration in Microsoft Fabric.

DAX tweaks for graphical diversification of the reportSQLBits 2022
Nobody likes confusing and illegible reports. So how can DAX help us make reports more dynamic and graphically eloquent?
How to get started with Deployment PipelinesSQLBits 2022
When developing more significant or critical reports, which no longer serve only for personal analysis, it is necessary to follow procedures that ensure or reduce the chance that something non-functional will not get into production. Deployment Pipelines help us with this in Power BI.
