Dynamic Measures in Power BI give you the ability to change the measures being displayed in your Power BI visuals at the click of a button. But why should you implement them in your Power BI reports?

Session 2 - Power BI Composite and Advanced Models - Alex Whittles Take Power BI to the next level to support BIG data, as well as layering logic over the top of an existing cube or dataset for unlimited flexibility. This session will look at composite models as well as Direct Query over Datasets and Fabric's Direct Lake mode, to see how they can enhance our Power BI world. Use this to combine different datasets into a single report, as well adding your own logic and data on top of someone else's dataset.
