In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the key features of the March 2023 Power BI updates, along with some examples of how these updates can be used.
- Improved data modeling capabilities:
One of the most significant updates in March 2023 is the improved data modeling capabilities in Power BI. With the ability to create and use composite models, users can combine data from multiple sources into a single data model. For example, if you have sales data in one table and customer data in another, you can combine these tables to create a single data model that shows sales by customer.
Another new feature is the support for bidirectional cross-filtering, which enables users to filter data in both directions between tables in a data model. For example, you can use bidirectional cross-filtering to show sales data for a specific customer and also show the customer’s purchase history.
- Enhanced visualization features:
Power BI’s visualization capabilities have also been improved with several new features. For example, you can now create custom visuals using the Power BI SDK. This allows developers to create and share custom visualizations that can be used within Power BI reports.
Another new visualization feature is the ability to create drill-through reports. This allows users to navigate to more detailed reports based on a specific data point. For example, if you have a report that shows sales by region, you can create a drill-through report that shows sales by city for a specific region.
- Improved collaboration features:
Power BI’s collaboration features have also been enhanced with several new capabilities. For example, you can now create and share templates, which allow users to create standardized report layouts that can be used across different teams and departments.
Another new feature is the ability to annotate and highlight data points within reports. This makes it easier for users to collaborate and share insights. For example, if you have a report that shows sales data, you can annotate a specific data point to highlight a trend or pattern.
Overall, the new March 2023 Power BI updates offer several enhancements to the platform’s data modeling, visualization, and collaboration features. These updates should make it easier for users to work with data and create insightful reports that can be shared with their teams and stakeholders.
