Power BI & Microsoft Fabric
Review Power BI models, define measures and configure Microsoft Fabric governance.
Review Power BI and Microsoft Fabric together
Rory traces priority Power BI reports from source to semantic model, checks measure definitions and compares Microsoft Fabric options against reporting, governance and cost requirements.
What Rory reviews and configures
- Configure named Fabric data-engineering workloads and OneLake items
- Review Power BI reports and semantic models, and define measures, owners and access rules
- Test DAX calculations and tune queries against agreed performance conditions
- Configure deployment pipelines and document workspace ownership and release steps
Microsoft tools and implementation patterns
- Compare Fabric Lakehouse, Warehouse and Real-Time Analytics workloads for specified ingestion, storage and modelling requirements
- Configure Power BI deployment pipelines, Gen2 dataflows and version-controlled XMLA semantic models for named workspaces
- Define OneLake shortcuts, medallion layers, data-quality checks and owners for agreed data products
- Trace Azure Data Factory, Synapse or Databricks connectors that feed Fabric from hybrid or legacy sources
- Review Fabric licences, capacity, workspace controls and analyst operating procedures before adoption decisions
Reporting problems to review
Disconnected workspaces, unmanaged sharing and slow refreshes make reports difficult to operate. Rory identifies owners, traces refresh dependencies, checks access rules and records the options for repairing or replacing each priority component.
Assess, configure and test
- Assess estate: Review existing Power BI assets, licences and Fabric readiness.
- Define the target: Compare architecture options and document dataflows, measures, workspace boundaries and owners.
- Configure and test: Configure agreed Fabric and Power BI changes, test acceptance conditions and document the handover.
Accountable Microsoft analytics work
Rory leads solution reviews, architecture selection and governance design in the Microsoft ecosystem. His experience across public-sector, enterprise and mid-market environments informs the questions asked about access, ownership and support. Any associate is named and limited to an agreed implementation task.
Review a Power BI or Fabric decision
Ask Rory to trace a report, define ownership and compare the next Microsoft Fabric options.

How we partner
Step 1 Review goals and systems
Review the goals, current systems, constraints and owners so the work targets the real problem.
Step 2 Design the path
Set out the options, the evidence behind them and the acceptance checks, then agree the next practical step.
Step 3 Deliver & evolve
Where delivery follows, move in small, agreed increments, keep the evidence visible, and hand over so your team can sustain it.
