With examples of real problems and (attempted) solutions, this presentation will examine dimensional modeling techniques which simplify and speed up measure evaluation. A fast-paced look at some common and uncommon reporting scenarios, including:
All manner of date calculations and comparisons
Slowly changing dimensions
Events in progress
Conditional evaluation of measures
By the end of this talk, you should have a stronger understanding of the right questions to ask that will make your BI solution simpler for end users and more performant at run-time.
