3. Agenda
• PowerBI Dataflow
• Auditing, monitoring and compliance
• Paginated reports

4. What is important for enterprises
EDWH/Single
Source of
truth
Bringing new
data in
ML and AI
scenarios
Paginated
reports
Self-service BI IoT/Big data Volume
Auditing and
compliance

5. What PowerBI is already really good with
EDWH/Single
Source of
truth
Bringing new
data in
ML and AI
scenarios
Paginated
reports
Self-service BI IoT/Big data Volume
Auditing and
compliance

6. What did the latest changes enable
EDWH/Single
Source of
truth
Bringing new
data in
ML and AI
scenarios
Paginated
reports
Self-service BI IoT/Big data Volume
Auditing and
compliance

7. Data flows
Stored as entities in CDM
Allow single source of truth
Decouple Data/ETL from Reports i.e. Self-
service data prep
Premium capacity enable:
- Linked Entities
- Compute Entities (joins)
- AutoML
Under the hood it is just PowerQuery Online

8. DEMO
Getting started with data flows in PowerBI

9. Connecting PowerBI Dataflows to Data Lake
• Connect to Azure Data Lake Gen2
o Requires filesystem named “powerbi”
o Still preview
o Uses Common Data Model organization

10. Connecting PowerBI Dataflows to Data Lake

11. Data flows
Single source of truth
Enables bringing new data in easily
Enables easy AutoML capabilities
Simplifies governance and maintenance
Simplifies data preparation

12. Governance, monitoring and auditing
• Monitoring usage
o Usage reports on report and dashboard level (there is a little hack here )
o Monitoring performance
• Refresh performance
• Premium capacity monitoring
• Data source monitoring is out of PBI
• Gateway performance – manual setup
• Governance and security
o Permissions through AAD groups/individual users
o RLS
o Versioning – file based or with Premium – third party tools
• Auditing
o O365 unified logging platform

13. DEMO
USAGE REPORTS and hacking them
O365 logging and auditing

14. Paginated
reports
• Premium capacity only
• Developed through PowerBI Report Builder
• Limitations
o Cannot use dataflows/datasets in PowerBI service
o Cannot migrate multiple reports
o Cannot have shared datasets
o Cannot publish from SSDT
• At this point they are good for DEMOS and INDIVIDUAL reports
