Enterprise DNA Learning Summit August 2019 – Second Day Wrap Up

by | Learning Summits, Power BI

Another 2 sessions completed today with a great turnout once again.

We stepped things up a level today with a detailed review of CALCULATE vs CALCULATETABLE and DAX Formula Combinations

While some of the concepts might have been new to those who attended, the great thing I feel is how achievable they are for all Power BI users, especially for those developing reports and models.

You can extract some really advanced and valuable insights using Power BI that are going to make a big difference to decision making within organizations.

That’s what this summit is all about. Showcasing many ways you can create real value from your analysis.

During the CALCULATE vs CALCULATETABLE workshop, we covered these two important functions in-depth.

CALCULATE is by far the most important DAX function in Power BI and that’s why we covered it by many real-world examples. By comparing how it operates against the CALCULATETABLE function you can see how they contrast with each other but at the same time complete similar operations when calculating logic with DAX.

A lot covered during this workshop that was well received.

The second session was all about DAX Formula Combinations. I thought the best way to run through this was to cover many real-world scenarios where it makes a lot of sense to utilize these techniques.

We covered examples such as percent of total calculations, cumulative totals, dynamic grouping concepts and others.

This was a really comprehensive session on the power and re-usability of analysis with DAX and Power BI.

Only one day left for this learning summit! So far, we have had two high-quality days, with many users tuning in and many more watching the replays that are made available to all those who registered.

There’s still time to come to the last day and get hold of the resources and replays. You can do so below.
