This book provides detailed guidance around architecting and
deploying Power BI reporting solutions, including help and best
practices for sharing and security. You’ll find chapters on
dataflows, shared datasets, composite model and DirectQuery
connections to Power BI datasets, deployment pipelines, XMLA
endpoints, and many other important features related to the overall
Power BI architecture that are new since the first edition.Â
You will gain an understanding of what functionality each of the
Power BI components provide (such as Dataflow, Shared Dataset,
Datamart, thin reports, and paginated reports), so that you can
make an informed decision about what components to use in your
solution. You will get to know the pros and cons of each component,
and how they all work together within the larger Power BI
architecture. Commonly encountered problems you will learn to
handle include content unexpectedly changing while users are in the
process of creating reports and building analyses, methods of
sharing analyses that don’t cover all the requirements of your
business or organization, and inconsistent security models.
Detailed examples help you to understand and choose from among the
different methods available for sharing and securing Power BI
content so that only intended recipients can see it. The knowledge
provided in this book will allow you to choose an architecture and
deployment model that suits the needs of your organization. It will
also help ensure that you do not spend your time maintaining your
solution, but on using it for its intended purpose: gaining
business value from mining and analyzing your organization’s
data. What You Will Learn Architect Power BI solutions that are

and structures in support of reusability Set up and configure the
Power BI gateway as a bridge between on-premises data sources and
