Power BI Webinars for the week of June 20th

[chass]

Going forward the Power BI team will be doing two webinars per week. The first will be on Tuesdays hosted by an industry expert or community leader sharing their knowledge, best practices and guidance with the world.  The second webinar held on Thursdays will be feature teams from the Power BI development team sharing with you what we have just released and their upcoming plans.   All of which will be hosted by Charles Sterling,

Which begs the question: what is happening next week?

Introduction to M in Power BI – Chris Webb

Behind Power BI’s data load and transformation functionality is the M language. In this session you’ll learn what kind of scenarios you’ll need to use the M language as well as its basic syntax. You’ll also see several practical examples of how to use M in the wild, for example separating connection details out from queries to make them easy to update; creating and using functions; handling missing or changed data sources; and calling web services.
