203: 'It Depends' - Best Practices & Optimization for Models

We live in a world of Best Practices and learning best practices for Power BI. It is ingrained in us and from documentation to learning. However, the idea that best practices are universal for each use case is a fallacy. Data models, logic, and needs are unique to each model and report. People, features, and situations call for being able to use methods that may not fall into the universally known best practice sphere. When are those situations, and how do we navigate and ensure we are still applying the best approach? This came from another amazing article from Kurt Buhler. https://data-goblins.com/power-bi/it-depends Get in touch: Send in your questions or topics you want us to discuss by tweeting to @PowerBITips with the hashtag #empMailbag or submit on the PowerBI.tips Podcast Page.

Om Podcasten

Hosted by Mike Carlo, and Tommy Puglia, the Explicit Measures Podcast is a Power BI focused show that is like being around a Power BI Pro’s Water Cooler. With so many available resources in the community that focuses on the “how” in Power BI (how to do Drill Through, how to use DAX, etc.,), the Explicit Measures Podcast is all around the WHY. Why use a particular feature, does it make sense for my users? Build the toolset, learn the how, and then come to the Podcast to the listen to the why in situations we all experience as Power BI Pros.
