I really like this intro to pySpark from LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/learning/pys...

Looking forward to it #FabCon #SQLCon

#MicrosoftFabric Is anyone using Domains in Fabric? I am curious how they are being implemented? Also, does anyone use the Default Domain for when a new workspace is created? #Domains

Need a new laptop, any suggestions?

#MicrosoftFabric saw this while reading #MicrosoftIgnite announcements 'SQL database in Fabric will be free until January 1, 2025, after which compute and data storage charges will begin, with backup billing starting on February 1, 2025.'

#MicrosoftFabric #FabricDatabase Now we have a real relational database in Fabric. All the constraints we need to help with data integrity!!! www.linkedin.com/pulse/fabric...

Start the year off right by joining the community and learning about the latest Microsoft Fabric platform and its benefits for your data analytics workloads. aka.ms/learntogether #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI #LearnTogether

I just created a Calculation Group (Time Intelligence) in a Direct Lake semantic model - powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/m...

I was called a dinosaur today for using SSMS instead of Azure Data Studio. The project is on Synapse dedicated pool, so maybe he was right? #FeelingOld #SpiritIsStillYoung :) #StillSmiling #SQLServer #SSMS #AzureDataStudio

#MicrosoftFabric #Fabricators new indentation for lakehouse in my tenant - cool start to changes in organization for Microsoft Fabric #PowerBI

Though I like all the ideas behind #Fabric, I am a little hesitant about suggesting an enterprise implementation until some of the next stuff is released in 2024, especially around security and vnet/private endpoints. Am I wrong?

What are Visual Best Practices? Overload pages with too many visuals instead of interactions that are sluggish. Maybe a best practice is for report design to reduce the number of visuals on a page avoiding unnecessary slicers or interactions while using visual types for the correct data type.

#PowerBI-PerformanceTuning Using Parallelism with PPU or Premium: If you have limited server resources (Pro license) causing report performance issues. Try utilizing Premium/Fabric or Premium Per User (PPU) for enhanced resources, allowing for better parallelism while processing.

#PowerBI #PerformanceTuning #DAX Optimization Some reports have slow-ish response times due to un-optimized DAX measures Try reviewing DAX expression in #DAXStudio, eliminate redundance, use FILTER effectively, and use variables in measures to enhance readability and performance

Where's the Create Folder in Power BI Service (or is ti just Fabric?) #PowerBI #MicrosoftFabric

#PowerBIPerformanceTuning 1. Optimizing Model: Slow report rendering due to a complex data model with numerous relationships. Solution: Simplify the data model by removing unnecessary relationships, using bidirectional filtering cautiously, and leveraging composite models for large datasets.
