Evolution of Business Intelligence

Everyone

Analyst to end user

IT to end user

2nd waveSelf-service BI

1st waveTechnical BI

3rd waveEnd user BI

Wave 1: Technical BI

• IT builds Data Ware House + Reports

• If you need a report, you‘ll have to ask IT

• You‘ll never know what you get as a result..

• Different mindset / approach to data


Wave 2: Self-Service BI

• End-Users are the main drivers / influencers• They need to analyze the data

• They know the data

• They know the exceptions (in the data)

• Solutions are built around Excel

http://searchcrm.techtarget.com/news/1081869/Microsoft-Excel-The-king-of-BI

http://www.powerpivotpro.com/2015/06/no-more-apologies-excel-is-the-worlds-best-data-tool-period/

Wave 3: End-User BI

• Give the numbers/tools to everyone

• Work with your data with the tool you like


Power BI for Office 365 Power Query

Power Pivot

Power View

Power Map

Excel Add-Ins

SharePoint

Power BI für Office 365

Challenges with Power BI for Office 365

• Sharepoint as Pre-Requisite• IT / Infrastructure team is needed

• Either on-premises or in the cloud• Sharepoint vs SharePoint Online

• „name overflow“… everything is Power!

• Power View requires Silverlight• End of life: 2021

• Frequent updates but different release cycles

• Mobile / Table experience missing


Overall challenges

Multiple data sources Data residing in SaaS solutions and other external locations is difficult to access and refresh securely

End-to-end view Data often resides in disparate locations, making it difficult to see a complete picture of your business

Right data for the right users at the right time

Different roles have different needs and business users need the latest operational data

And Microsoft proposed an answer…

Power BI is different… .. compared to other Microsoft products

• .. because it‘s developed in an agile way• Monthly updates for Power BI Desktop

• (Almost) weekly updates for Power BI service

• Monthly updates for Mobile Apps, Excel Add In

• .. because Power BI team is listening to users‘ need

• .. because it has a great community

Report

• REPORT one or more pages of visualizations (charts, graphs, images)

• Created in powerbi.com / Power BI Desktop / shared by colleague

• One report – parts of it in multiple dashboards

• Source = one single dataset

Dashboard

• DASHBOARD = starting point for your information

• Contains zero or more tiles and widgets

• Tiles from reports are pinned

October 2017 Release



Power BI Desktop - DEMOExcel File & Simple Model

Import versus DirectQuery


Import

• Data is imported into pbix file

• Compression

• You need to refresh data every time you want up-to-date information!


Power BI Desktop - DEMOImport versus Direct Query

Direct Query - Facts

• Data is read every time the user accesses a report

• Model in Power BI (relational database; NOT SSAS)

• Only one data source

• Performance!!

• If you want to add other sources – switch to import mode


Direct Query – Query Reduction Options

• Minimize Round-Trips

• Explicit “Apply” selection

Query Folding

• Push transformations back to source

• Performance impact (i.e. import fewer rows)

• Not all kind of data sources support query folding

Calculated Columns versus Measures

Calculated Columns

Add additional information PER row into your data tables

Calculated Columns either in DAX or “Custom Column” in Query Editor

Tip: Use TableName[CaculatedColumnName] for reference

RELATE to other columns in other tables with RELATED() function


Measures – The easy Way

Implicit Measures – Default Summarization

you do not need to learn DAX

Quick Measures

Use DAX formulas prepared by others..

Measures

• Definition using DAX • ~similar to Excel formulas BUT ..

• [Total Sales] = SUM(Sales[Sales Amount])

• Bound to Home Table


Measures

• Reuse Measures[Profit] = SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]) – SUM(Sales[Costs])

prefer:

[Profit] = [Total Sales] – [Total Costs]

[Profit Margin %] = [Profit] / [Total Sales]

• Or with error handling

[Profit Margin %] = DIVIDE([Profit], [Total Sales])

Measures - CALCULATE

• CALCULATE(Expression, [Filter 1], [Filter 2], …)

• Expression ~ Measure

• Filters are applied and Expression is evaluated under “Filter Context”

• Add Filter [Desktop Sales] = CALCULATE([Total Sales], CampaignDim[Device] = "Desktop")

• Ignore Filter [Total Sales All Geo] = CALCULATE([Total Sales], ALL(GeographyDim))

• Update Filter [2014 Sales] = CALCULATE([Total Sales], DateDim[Year] = 2014)


DAX – Time Intelligence

[Sales YTD] = CALCULATE([Total Sales], DATESYTD(DateDim[Date])

DATESQTD

NEXTMONTH, NEXTYEAR

PREVIOUSMONTH, PREVIOUSYEAR

SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR

PARALLELPERIOD

…

And many more

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee634763.aspx

Desktop – Quick measures

• Use DAX “templates”

• Define it with wizard

• Learn DAX

Row-Level SecurityWorks on imported or Direct Query Models

Restricts data for users to only see certain rows

Can be used in App Workspaces / Apps


Row Level Security (RLS)

• Table + Filter (DAX Expression)


Row Level Security – Testing (in Power BI Desktop)

Row Level Security – Add role members (powerbi.com)


Row Level Security – Testing (powerbi.com)

Dynamic Row Level Security

• Take userinformation into account..• DAX function USERNAME()

• PBI Desktop: DOMAIN\User• Powerbi.com: User Principal Name (UPN) ~ looks like email address

• Think about ..• .. a table containing all valid users• .. apply filter rule on user table• .. Users only see their data-rows
