Dataflows are useful for many scenarios when dealing with Power BI. One of their big advantages is the data source isolation and anything that comes with that. Benefits of such architecture are many, including datasets independent from the data source changes, and managing security in another layer from the data source. In this article, I’ll Read more about Power BI data source isolation using dataflows. How is it and what are the benefits?[…]
In the previous article, I explained how to implement a dynamic row-level security pattern when you have a value that you want to exclude. However, what if you want to EXCLUDE at some scenarios and INCLUDE in some others? What if you want to have a role saying access to everything but New Zealand, and Read more about Dynamic Row-Level Security in Power BI with Exclude and Include Rules[…]
