In December 2020, we launched the preview of DirectQuery for Power BI Datasets and Analysis Services. Since then, we have worked with many of you to improve on this feature and get it ready for general availability. Today we are announcing that this feature has reached general availability.
» En savoir plusWe are excited to announce significant query processing improvements in the Power BI engine around query parallelization in DirectQuery mode, which can help to accelerate query response times, specifically for DAX and MDX expressions that generate multiple storage engine (SE) queries.
» En savoir plusHow does the Optimize ribbon, with Pause visuals, Refresh visuals, Optimization presets, and Performance analyzer, as well as Edit relationships in the properties pane work to streamline your authoring experience? Here are some scenarios they can help you with!
» En savoir plusToday, we are excited to announce General Availability (GA) of automatic aggregations, along with several important improvements. By using automatic aggregations in Power BI Premium, you can unlock cloud-scale data volumes for interactive analysis. Automatic aggregations import data into the dataset only at the aggregated level while leaving the detail data at the source to minimize data duplication. In this way, most BI queries can benefit from Power BI’s blazing fast query performance in import mode, while occasional detail queries can still work transparently against the data source in DirectQuery mode.
» En savoir plusThe ability to create a composite model on top of a Power BI dataset or an Azure Analysis Services model is in preview since December 2020. Since then, we have seen great adoption of this feature and have received great feedback that allowed us to make it even better! The team has been hard at work readying the feature for general availability, and although we are not announcing that today, we have great news to share regarding permissions.
» En savoir plusWe are excited to announce support for Hybrid Tables and Incremental refresh with real-time data in Power BI Premium to strike the right balance between query performance and data freshness. Now you can have blazing fast performance in import mode and the latest data changes in the data warehouse reflected in user reports without having to perform a dataset refresh.
