Power BI Aggregations provide a way to query a data source that is too large to fit within a Power BI dataset by allowing an imported aggregates table to satisy certain calculations whilst other calculations can fall back to using a live (DirectQuery) connection to the underlying data source. This is known as a Composite Model. In this scenario-based blog post we’ll create a Power BI solution which analyses sales data where the source data is considered too large to fit within a Power BI dataset. E.G. if the underlying data source Fact table at the Order Date and Customer granularity exceeded limits for a Power BI Desktop model, the model can be setup to use the Order Date as an aggregate and the Customer as a live connection. When a report viewer uses Order Date and an appropriate calculation in a report, this can be satisifed with the imported cache, whilst using Customer will result in a connection to the underlying data source.
