Power BI Data lineage and impact analysis enhancements
In this feature overview video series, we highlight new capabilities included in the latest update to Microsoft #PowerBI.
BI professionals use Power BI today to build projects that span numerous artifacts: data sources, dataflows, datasets, reports, and dashboards. Providing insights about the data lineage in these projects has many benefits, including:
• shaping efficient work processes,
• empowering users to better manage existing dependencies,
• troubleshooting issues in projects,
• deriving the potential impact of planned changes,
• determining data lineage,
• gaining confidence for important business KPIs, and
• helping BI professionals understand exactly where their data comes from and assess usage of artifacts.
It is already possible to visualize data lineage within a workspace, including cross-workspace dependencies, and APIs to extract lineage information are already supported. Recently, we announced the general availability of additional Power BI lineage capabilities that improve the experience for professionals and administrators who need to understand the relationships between the different artifacts and manage Power BI projects in their organization.
