Hi Adam! If I’m pulling noSQL source into power BI, do you mean I’d I create a star schema within power BI, breaking one giant table into several tables to for star schema, the performance will be better than pulling that one table directly? If I have several messy tables from noSQL database, would you rather create a unit giant table with only needed columns, or just every tables and join them in Power BI data model? Or have to consolidate them into one and then break into a star schema? Thank you so much!

I don't agree with you, you can create 1 SQL statement that pools sales/Quantity information from the past 3 years and that can give you 5 different graphs based on Top performance items, gross income, worse performance, etc. Where if you import it, you might have to import 10 different tables and based on the amount of data will take longer and your performance will be slower.

I have taken a new role as systems administrator with a new company. A previous administrator used power bi to create the company website and it has stopped updating as we would expect. I am having difficulties tracking down the reason for the failure of updating the dataset . I am beginning to think we may have possibly reached the max storage rows for our service but am not familiar enough with power bi services to confirm the true issue. I have watched a few of your videos that have been very helpful which I appreciate very much. I wanted to reach out to see if you might provide consulting services and if so what your hourly rate might be to help assist me with familiarizing myself with the environment. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you.

How about security implications when importing the data? Once imported the data is now available to anyone with access to the report/dashboard.

The initial test is in. As expected although you can pull two AAS models into the same PBI model, it’s not really working. Obvs some new joins are needed between the tables, which is a bit of a problem... Might work if I avoid using fields from both connections in the same visuals... Further analysis required.

Hello, thank you very much for your videos, they are very interesting. I've been trying to search your channel for something that helps me calculate what I'm trying to calculate for days. In my case I have something like this, in the same column: Row A1 = (POWER(1+Forward_Rate,-1)) Row A2 = A1 * (POWER(1+Forward_Rate,-1)) Row A3 = A2 * (POWER(1+Forward_Rate,-1)) Row A4 = A3 * (POWER(1+Forward_Rate,-1)) …and so on in the same column that has 930 records. I've been trying to replicate this in Power BI for days, creating several variables, making conditionals with them, etc., but I'm not able to reach the same result that I calculated by doing this in Excel. Do you have a video that can explain more or less what I'm trying to do? Or could you make one that shows how to do it? Thank you so much
