Power BI to Plotly: Build AI Dashboard Apps - with Adam Schroeder

LIVESTREAM DATE/TIME 📅

March 6th - 9:30 AM (Pacific Time)

DESCRIPTION 📄

You’ve already invested in a Power BI semantic model. Cool. Now let’s actually use it outside the walls of a closed BI environment. In this session, Adam Schroeder (Plotly) shows how Plotly Studio can connect directly to your existing Power BI semantic model so you can build polished, production-ready data apps, powered by Python and accelerated with AI, without rebuilding or migrating your data.

You’ll learn how to:

• Build fully customized, production-ready data apps using Python (beyond drag-and-drop limits)

• Distribute apps broadly without getting crushed by per-user viewer licensing costs

• Own your branding, UX, and deployment strategy end-to-end

• Take a practical step toward operationalizing trustworthy AI on top of governed data

If you’re hitting the ceiling on Power BI customization, navigating licensing-based scaling challenges, or looking for more control over how insights (and AI) reach users, this is your playbook.

Power BI Report Cleanup Just Leveled Up (Duplicate Images, Orphans, Saved Scripts)

Video by: Reid Havens

Power BI reports quietly accumulate junk. Duplicate images. Orphaned files. Saved DAX and TMDL scripts that were never meant to ship.

In this video, I walk through the Report Cleanup enhancements in AE Power BI Multi-Tool Suite v2.0, focusing on how the tool helps you clean development artifacts safely and measurably before publishing.

You’ll see how the tool:

• Detects duplicate images using MD5 hashing and consolidates references

• Finds and removes unused and orphaned images across PBIP files

• Cleans up saved DAX queries and TMDL scripts left behind by Desktop tooling

• Reports exact size savings so you know what you actually gained

These are artifacts created during real development workflows. They’re invisible in Desktop, but they absolutely matter for repo hygiene, file size, and long-term maintainability.

This is about shipping cleaner, leaner Power BI reports without guessing or manually editing JSON files like a raccoon in a data dumpster.

A Generated Report: How AI can make Dashboards - with Injae Park

LIVESTREAM DATE/TIME 📅

January 9th 2026 — 9:30AM (Pacific Time)

DESCRIPTION 📄

This session explores how AI can be applied to the creation and modification of Power BI visuals, focusing on the different levels at which AI tools can interact with reports and models. The session looks at emerging patterns in how AI is being used across the Power BI development lifecycle, and where each approach is most effective.

We Will Cover

• Using web-based LLMs for fast iteration, ideation, and visual exploration

• Using MCP-style setups to interact with and modify the semantic model

• The trade-offs between speed, control, and reliability across these approaches

• How to choose the right level of AI involvement for different scenarios

This will be a discussion of a few examples of how the technology is moving at a rapid pace, and how that will affect and enable Power BI Developers

The Invisible Tooltip Trick: How to Hide SVG and URL Tooltips in Power BI Tables

Video by: Reid Havens

Power BI insists on showing raw SVG or URL text when you hover over icons in tables, which makes everything look like a crime scene. This quick technique uses a tiny, blank report-page tooltip to override Power BI’s default behavior, effectively “disabling” tooltips for SVGs and URLs without breaking interactivity. It’s fast, reliable, and doesn’t require DAX sorcery or custom visuals.
