📊 WHAT IS POWER BI?
Power BI is a business analytics tool by Microsoft. It creates a working environment suited for normal users, meaning tasks such as data extraction, cleansing, analysis and storytelling; these are made easily-accessible to citizen-users, and extendable for technical users. At face value it provides visually-stunning, interactive dashboards, but it’s built on top of so much more.

You are one of my favorites Power Bi developer. Kudos

[adriancritchley]

This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you.

Very easy to follow guide. Thanks. Is there a way to use csv files from Azure Data Lake in Deployment pipeline. I could not create a working connection in Deployment pipeline while data is coming from Data Lake.

[leratamotaung]

Any idea why the gateway connection is greyed out after pipeline deployment?

[marianacastellanosmontero]

Thank you so much for sharing this important information about pipeline, do the parameter rules also apply if I'm using fields parameters? It just that I have a report with fields parameters but in the prod stage it is not working the pipeline, why do you think that is happening?
I'd really appreciate if you could help me with this issue I'm having :)

if you are deploying a new report, will you use the existing pipeline or you can create a new pipeline. I created a new separate pipeline but I was not able to access any workspace to it because the old pipepline was assigned to the existing workspace. hence I had to use the existing pipeline and I had to re-published already existing report and the new report together to the app

[aishwaryaudayakumar]

Hi, Can we automate this deployment pipelines?

[markhenderson]

Do my testers need to have Premium per User to do their testing? Better question, what can Pro users do with my Premium workspace?

[gauthama]

Hi Fernan,
If Possible, Try to make an idea about Performance Tuning

[ekdhavlogs]

Hi Fernan, how the gateways are used for dev and test.. Test will have different gateway or same which is used for dev? Or both gateways do we need to use?

[karthiknsv]

Hi Fernan,
Does deployment pipelines help in version controls ? can we roll back to the previous versions?

[chrisschley]

Any idea why the "Data Source Rules" option is greyed out when using a Power BI Dataflow as my data source?

[harsimranjeetsingh]

Hi Fernan,
Kamusta ka ?
Great demo BTW.
Is it possible to have only two stages or more than 3 stages ?
like dev and prod
For two stages, I believe for now workaround can be to configure test stage same as dev stage if it is restricted to 3 stages only.

But not sure about if there more than 3 stages possibility.
for example workspace for each region head.

And can this be used in power automate ?
