Summary

This chapter taught us about new data modeling options, features, and DAX functions. We looked closer at field parameters and how they become handy in making more dynamic reports. We also learned about Datamarts by implementing some simple samples. We connected to the underlying SQL endpoint from SSMS and looked closer at RLS implementation in Datamarts. Last but definitely not least, we implemented some scenarios using the new DAX functions.

This is the last chapter of this book; I hope you enjoyed reading it and that you learned some new techniques and ideas to deal with data modeling in Power BI.
