The Ultimate "NO ETL" Show Down: Shortcuts vs Mirroring vs Copy Job
No ETL - no problem! Fabric introduced several innovative features to access external data without spending time on building complex ETL.
But, which one is right for YOU? We'll examine various data movement strategies, their pros and cons, so you'll feel more confident picking the right one
Power BI Data Modeling - There is more to the star schema than you might think
We all have heard that Power BI works best if we design the dataset following the star schema paradigm. But creating a star schema comes with a price. We spent more effort on the data shaping, and sometimes it requires some mind-boggling thinking to identify the dimension tables and the fact tables.
This session explains the price we have to pay if we are not creating a start schema and provides a glimpse into aspects of advanced data modeling. Advanced data modeling comes into play when we create a model that takes away complexity from our DAX measures and supports the strength of the vertipaq engine.

Level Up your Power BI game with Microsoft Fabric
“What should I do now?”
That’s the most common question we’ve been hearing from Power BI professionals since Microsoft Fabric was introduced as an “end-to-end analytics platform” by Microsoft in November 2023.
And, although most of the “traditional” Power BI workloads stay the same, there are some new features and functionalities that are exclusively available when using Power BI in synergy with Fabric. You can now leverage your Power Query skills for self-service data preparation with Dataflows Gen2. You may perform complex data transformations using notebooks. Need to deal with the real-time analytics requirements? No problem, as the Real-Time Intelligence provides a seamless experience for handling streaming data processing. Oh, there is also a completely new storage mode for Power BI semantic models – Direct Lake, which combines best of both Import and DirectQuery worlds.
This workshop serves as a definitive guide to understanding how (and to what extent) Microsoft Fabric revolutionized the way we are working with Power BI. We will start by introducing the key pillars of Microsoft Fabric, and examining the core components of the platform. Next, you’ll understand how to leverage various Fabric features and capabilities to enhance your current Power BI solutions, and build future-proof Power BI models from ground.
Once we are done, you’ll get a better understanding of the various Fabric components that may affect the architectural decisions for building scalable analytics solutions, and how these decisions may level up your Power BI projects.
We expect you to have a fundamental Power BI knowledge (so you won’t scratch your head when you hear terms such as: Power Query, Model View, semantic model, Star schema, etc.). Additionally, knowing basic principles of data modeling won’t hurt as well, although we cover a lot of these from scratch during the workshop.
Oh, and don’t forget your laptops! Since we firmly believe in the “learning by doing mantra”, you’ll be working on numerous hands-on labs during the workshop, so once we are done, you’ll bring home a fully functional, end-to-end solution using Microsoft Fabric and Power BI.
Prerequisites:
• Laptop with Internet connection
• Fabric license (any license is fine, including Trial)
• Power BI Desktop installed
A Day in the Life of a Fabric Analytics Engineer!

This workshop breaks down a typical day in the life of a Fabric analytics engineer. You'll learn how to handle common business requests and design robust and efficient pipelines, queries, and semantic models using various Fabric components.
Chief Data Alchemist Playbook - Crafting Medallion Architecture the Right Way!
For hundreds of years, alchemists tried to figure out how to turn ordinary metals into gold. The modern version of alchemists, let's call them Data Alchemists, try to turn raw, messy data into a high-quality, business-valuable asset.
A medallion architecture represents the most widely adopted pattern for organizing the data in modern data platforms, yet it's hard to believe that something so fairly simple by its nature may cause so much confusion and debate in the data industry
This session serves as a definitive guide to designing and implementing medallion architecture the right way! We'll start by explaining the core principles and recommended practices for implementing a medallion design pattern in a data platform solution.
We'll then examine different approaches to crafting medallion layers and answer the following questions: Should your bronze layer contain anything in addition to the raw data? Should you model your silver layer as a 3rd-normal-form-like-tables, or keep them as a "1 to 1" copy of the bronze layer? Star schema vs One-big-table in the gold layer? Should you perform calculations in the silver or in the gold layer? Or maybe in both?
Theory without practice is like a soup without salt - so, I'll take you on a ride to build the entire medallion architecture in Microsoft Fabric using a fictitious company that is just embarking on its data modernization journey. I'll teach you how to become their Chief Data Alchemist!
Eenny meeny miney moe - Choosing the right Fabric tool for the job
No, it doesn't need to be as in the popular kids' rhyme. Although Fabric is all about the options, and the same task can be completed in multiple different ways, the decisions you make might have a larger impact on the entire data platform workload. Hence, it is of paramount importance to understand the implications of choosing Option A vs. Option B to complete Task XYZ in Fabric.
In this session, we will try to provide hints and guidance on the most common Fabric dilemmas, such as:
*Which analytical engine to use?
*Should you implement Azure SQL DB or SQL database in Fabric for your transactional workloads?
*Direct Lake or Import mode for Power BI semantic models?
*When to use Dataflows Gen2 vs. Pipelines vs. Notebooks vs. Shortcuts?
Once done, you'll have a better understanding of various techniques for completing the same task, and feel more confident in choosing the optimal solution for your Fabric scenario.
