Enhance your Power BI experience and manage your semantic models with ease by adopting the ALM Toolkit into your workflow.
» Read moreDatasets are being renamed to semantic models in Power BI and Fabric. This will make the product clearer and more usable and reflects the immense progress that Power BI datasets have made in becoming an enterprise-grade semantic modeling technology. The semantic model name will help drive awareness of the unparalleled capabilities provided.
» Read moreWe’re excited to announce that we’ve reached the final milestone in our dataset scale-out public preview journey! We started the preview without auto-sync and with single read-only replica per dataset. A few months ago, we introduced auto-sync, and now Power BI can create as many read-only replicas as your Power BI capacity supports. Dataset scale-out is no longer limited to a single read-only replica per dataset.
