What Are The New Features Of Power BI? October
Updates!

• Hello, in this blog Im going to discuss the
  latest features of Power BI October Updates. I
  think Google and Microsoft are the only two
  companies which lunch their product updates very
  quickly, that clearly indicates that their
  developers are working on the products to improve
  their features. These updates are very helpful
  for the users who use it. Power BI is a tool that
  helps you in creating and managing reports, you
  can create reports for phone layout as well as
  for web view.

Power BI comes with two packages, one is Power BI
desktop and other is Power BI service. Microsoft
launches the Power BI updates with both minor and
major improvements. The biggest improvement or
you can say change is the support in Power Bi
service for both composite model and aggregation
previews, we will discuss it later in deep. This
feature enables you to take advantage of these
preview features end-to-end for your ordinary
reports. Power BI also provides two more
important data preparation features in October
updates fuzzy matching capabilities when we are
merging queries and data profiling for helping in
the identification of quality issues. Below is
the complete list of Power BI October Updates.
Lets have a look at this.

Performance improvements for ArcGIS Map After
this improvement, all the maps will load up to 50
faster than previous maps. Now, you can easily
show upto 30000 points on the map using latitude
and longitude point locations. Also, you can draw
1500 areas on the maps. Below is the screenshot
of the same.

In the above picture, you can see the points on
the map.

Modeling

• DAX editor improvements This feature improves
  the look of the editor as well as the features of
  the editor. This adds the new keyboard shortcuts,
  line numbers and also indent lines. The editor is
  similar to the Microsofts Visual code editor.

• This is one of the main features added in the
  October Release of Microsoft Power BI. Now we can
  import the data and create reports based on that
  data from the Vertica database. You need to first
  connect the Vertica database. If you want to
  refresh datasets in the power BI service and data
  is coming from the Vertica database then you must
  need to update your Power BI.
