Frequently Asked Questions
No worries at all. We all find ourselves with questions now and then.
How do I ensure data security in Power BI?
To ensure data security: 1. Implement raw-level security (RLS) to restrict data access based on user roles. 2. Use Azure Active Directory for authentication and user management. 3. Regular monitor user access and share reports only with necessary stakeholders.
What are common performance optimization techniques in Power BI?
To optimize performance, limit the amount of data loaded by filtering unnecessary columns and rows. 2. Use aggregations to reduce the model data size. 3. Minimize the use of complex calculated columns where possible. 4. Schedule refreshes during off-peak hours to improve load times.
How can I improve my data model in Power BI?
To enhance your data model, Use relationships; create relationships between tables to enable more complex analyses. Optimize data types; ensure fields have the appropriate data types (e.g., numeric, text) for better performance. Create calculated columns and measures; use DAX (data analysis expressions) to create new data fields based on existing data for deeper insights.
How do I create interactive dashboards in Power BI?
To create an interactive dashboard: 1. Use slicers and filters to allow users to drill down into the data. 2. Incorporate tooltips for additional context on visuals. 3. Implement bookmarks to save specific views of the report. 4. Utilize cross-filtering and highlighting to show relationships between different visual elements.
What are difference between Power BI Pro and Power BI Premium?
Power BI Pro: allows sharing and collaboration on reports and dashboards. It is subscription-based and requires a license for each user. Power BI Premium: offers enhanced features such as dedicated cloud capacity, larger dataset sizes, and advanced AI capabilities. It supports organizational-wide deployments and does not require individual licenses for viewers.
How do I ensure data security in Power BI?
