About this episode

Mike and Tommy discuss the relevance of bookmarks in Power BI and alternatives for simplifying data models.

Mike & Tommy weigh in on whether bookmarks in Power BI are still worth the maintenance burden, exploring how field parameters, slicers, and modern features have changed the game, and when you should still reach for bookmarks versus simplifying your data model instead. https://tabulareditor.com/blog/ai-readiness-and-best-practices-for-semantic-models-a-comprehensive-guide https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Fabric-Updates-Blogs/OneLake-catalog-is-now-natively-available-in-Foundry-Generally/ba-p/5178376 Get in touch: Send in your questions or topics you want us to discuss by tweeting to @PowerBITips with the hashtag #empMailbag or submit on the PowerBI.tips Podcast Page .
