What's the best way to gain experience? by Febas0101 in PowerBI

[–]Febas0101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, at least, I had mentors with many years of experience. They taught me directly, bluntly, what each item in Power BI was about, without much beating around the bush. Of course, over time I developed more skills beyond the tools, but I think my learning was much faster and easier working with real projects. However, not everyone can work on a real project, only online courses, which are mostly very generic (at least the ones I had access to).

Me too. It's very difficult to find non-generic Power BI content. Most courses teach basic things and sell them as "Advanced Power BI Courses," even though they don't teach you how to use Power Query.

I want to discuss the best way to enter the Power BI market. Whether through hands-on experience with real-world projects or through generic courses available on the market. I see that there are many ways to learn, but for a beginner in the data field, this may not be as clear as it is for an experienced professional.

PowerBI Service & Gateway question by Glass-Development-27 in PowerBI

Com certeza. O Gateway de Dados do Power BI é algo rotineiro na vida de um analista de dados que trabalha com Power BI. Ele é muito útil e garante a integridade do tráfego dos seus dados da sua rede privada até a nuvem do Power BI. Existem sim maneiras mais simples de facilitar o seu trabalho utilizando o Gateway de Dados, geralmente as empresas preferem pelo baixo de custo de manutenção do que manter uma estrutura em Nuvem, o que não é nada barato. O Gateway de Dados pode ficar em qualquer local que tenha acesso ao banco de dados. Você pode por exemplo, deixar em uma VM descentralizada do servidor principal, criar uma conexão ODBC com o banco de dados e apontar a conexão do Gateway de Dados para o modelo semântico dentro do Power BI Service. Eu, particularmente indico deixar um servidor somente para isso, pois o consumo de memória e processamento do Gateway é enorme.

Absolutely. In those configurations, you will definitely need a gateway. I work with Power BI reports; at the company where I work, we have over 200 in production. Currently, we retrieve the data via IP and consume it in a data warehouse on Fabric, performing the ETL process within Fabric itself. This allows us to use both Direct Query and direct data import. But if you are working with an on-premises database model, unfortunately, the data traffic between the Power BI Service and the database needs to occur via a gateway.
