Overview of Power BI Desktop
.NET CONFERENCE #1 IN UKRAINE KYIV 2019
Power BI Desktop lets you build advanced
queries, models, and reports that visualize data.
With Power BI Desktop, you can build data
models, create reports, and share your work by
publishing to the Power BI service.
Power BI Desktop is a free download.
The common query tasks demonstrated here are
the following:
• Connect to data
• Shape and combine data
• Group rows
• Pivot columns
• Create custom columns
• Query formulas

Driven Tenacy model
.NET LEVEL UP .NET CONFERENCE #1 IN UKRAINE KYIV 2019
When designing a multi-tenant SaaS application, you must
carefully choose the tenancy model that best fits the needs of
your SaaS application. This process is also valid for Power BI as
an embedded analytics part of your SaaS application. A
tenancy model determines how each tenant’s data is mapped
and managed within Power BI and the storage account. Your
tenancy model impacts application design and management.
Switching to a different model later may become costly
and disruptive.
• Defines separation level between customers (tenants)
• Impacts scalability, automation processes and cost

Application UI Permission Logic/ Scenarios
.NET LEVEL UP .NET CONFERENCE #1 IN UKRAINE KYIV 2019
Embedding for your organization allows you to
extend the Power BI service. To do this,
implement the Embed for your organization
solution.
Embedding for your customers allows you to embed
dashboards and reports to users who don't have a
Power BI account. To do this, implement the Embed
for your customers solution.

Embed for Power BI users
• End-users must be AAD & Power BI users
• User management is done in Power BI
• Only the consumption is through external applications
Embed for non-Power BI users
• End-users do not have to be Power BI users
• Authentication is done with a or ‘Service

Power BI Rest Api
.NET CONFERENCE #1 IN UKRAINE KYIV 2019
There are two main scenarios when embedding Power BI
content. Embedding for users in your organization (who
have licenses for Power BI) and embedding for your users
and customers without requiring them to have Power BI
licenses. The Power BI REST API allows for both scenarios.
