Program
17:00 – 18:30 Arrival & food/drinks
18:30 – 19:30 Translytical task flows in Power BI/Fabric (NL) - Bidus Plomp, René Berends
Translytical task flows in Power BI allow you to perform actions directly on your data from a report. Instead of just analyzing, you can add, modify, or delete records, such as adding comments or changing product prices. This is done via Fabric User Data Functions, where the filter context and user input from Power BI are passed to backend logic that directly drives the underlying data source. This functionality is a new feature currently in Public Preview. During this session, we will show what the possibilities are and how this can add value to your own scenarios.
19:30 – 20:00 Break
20:00 – 21:00 Small tweaks, big impact: Upgrading core visuals in Power BI (NL) - Lonneke Opsteegh
Most Power BI reports rely on the same core visuals. That's completely fine. Bar charts, line charts, and KPI cards do a lot of heavy lifting. But with a few smart tweaks, you can often make your message much clearer. Especially in environments where custom visuals are restricted or not allowed, it's easy to feel limited. Still, the standard visual set offers more flexibility than most people realize. In this fast-paced session, we'll briefly explore six lesser-known chart types that build on the standard visuals, but show specific comparisons or distributions in a clearer way. These include bullet charts, dumbbell dot plots, butterfly charts, strip plots, Marimekko charts, and slope charts. We'll look at when they work and when they don't, based on how our brain processes visual information and what the data is actually trying to say.
21:00 – 21:30 Drinks & Networking
