Over dit evenement
Op dinsdag 29 november zijn we te gast bij ING (Cedar gebouw) in Amsterdam. We hebben dit keer een internationale spreker: niemand minder dan Marco Russo van SQLBI! Een sessie die je niet wilt missen…
We starten om 17:30 met een kleine maaltijd/ snacks en drankjes, en de mogelijkheid om in contact te komen met andere personen uit de Power BI Community.
Na een aftrap door de stichting, start Marnix Jansen van Minova, zijn sessie over calculation groups :
Power BI models tend to grow over time and the amount of measures along with them. The very best functionality that you can use to limit the amount of required measures is calculation groups. Indeed, using calculation groups you would be able to produce the exact same visuals and user experience but would need far less measures to do so. But there are more applications of calculation groups then just simplifying a Power BI model, you can even enhance the experience of your report users, for instance by dynamically formatting the numbers on your report. During this session, Marnix will show a demo of this powerful functionality.
Marnix studied business administration and started his working life as a Consultant at PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Subsequently, as a financial analyst and Management Accountant, Marnix was responsible for producing and presenting Management Information at many different organizations. He is an early adopter of Power Query and Power Pivot and has worked with Power BI since its inception.
Currently Marnix has started a Consulting firm, Minova, which focusses on supporting organizations in gaining insight into their business with the help of Power BI. Also, Marnix is a Microsoft Certified Trainer and has taught courses ranging from starter to expert, speaks at conferences and writes articles on Power BI related topics.
Na een korte pauze start Marco Russo van SQLBI met zijn sessie getiteld ‘Inside DAX studio 3’. Deze sessie zal, net zoals die van Marnix, in het Engels zijn. Een omschrijving van zijn sessie:
DAX Studio 3 is a new major version of DAX Studio with a new shiny user interface. While this is the only new major feature, this release has countless minor improvements in many areas: tracing, benchmarking, view as, options, and much else.
Join Marco in this session to learn more about the news in DAX Studio 3: you can also ask any questions, including showing the source code of your favorite feature!
Marco is a business intelligence consultant and mentor. He first started working on Analysis Services in 1998, back when Analysis Services was known as OLAP Services. A veteran of end-to-end projects, Marco wrote several books with Alberto Ferrari about Power BI, Analysis Service, and Power Pivot. They also regularly write articles and white papers that are available on sqlbi.com. Marco is a Microsoft MVP and an SSAS Maestro, the highest level of certification on Microsoft Analysis Services.
Today, Marco focuses his time with SQLBI customers, traveling extensively to train and consult on DAX and data modeling for Power BI and Analysis Services. Marco also teaches public classes worldwide. Marco is a regular speaker at international conferences like Microsoft Ignite, PASS Summit, and Sqlbits. He also enjoys delivering evening sessions at local user groups during his trips [lucky us!].
When he is not working, you can find Marco fine tuning his expertise of Neapolitan pizza or test driving electric cars.
