 Session Info:

DAX FROM THE FIELD: REAL-WORLD CASE STUDIES

The Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) formula language is still relatively new to many BI practitioners. But with more than 4 years under its belt now, it is proving its value every day – including in large installations that push the xVelocity in-memory engine to its limit. In this session, we will dive into lessons from the field, where real customers are using DAX to solve complex problems well beyond the Adventure Works scenarios.

 

How do you make a database fit in memory if it doesn’t fit? How do you handle billions of rows with a complex calculation? Can you perform reporting in any time zone, with time intelligence, efficiently? What tools can you use to benchmark and choose the right hardware? How do you scale up performance on both small and large databases? What are the common mistakes in DAX formulas that might cause performance bottlenecks?

 

These are just a few questions we will answer by looking at best practices that are working for real customers. Don’t miss this session to learn efficient DAX solutions and how far you can push the limits of the system.
