The enhanced compute engine in Power BI dataflows has been in preview since June. It’s not really new, and I’ve posted about it before. But I still keep hearing questions about it, so I thought it might make sense to record a video[1].
This video.
I won’t go into too much more depth here – just watch the video, and if you want more details check out one of these existing posts:
- Power BI dataflows and query folding
- Power BI dataflows enhanced compute engine
- Power Query Memory Usage, Dataflow Container Size And Refresh Performance from Chris Webb
Now to get back on schedule with that next video…
[1] Also, I’m behind on my video schedule – this was a motivating factor as well. November was an unexpectedly busy month[2], and between work, life, and not really having the video editing skills I need to keep to a schedule… Yeah.
[2] And I expected it to be very, very busy.
I look forward to watching this video. If not mentioned, it’s important to note EDCE is in Preview…I’ve disabled it in our Premium subscription after suffering a couple outages from bugs.
I think they’ve been resolved by the product team, but Preview features probably shouldn’t be used in a production environment. I really look forward to leveraging EDCE once its more stable.
