Learn how to promote and reuse key metrics from your semantic models across your organizationSQLBits 2025
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you saw the “same” measure in two different reports, showing conflicting values? Or a situation where you wanted to create a measure to use in your own report, but were uncertain whether that measure already existed in another model?
It’s common for organizations to have multiple semantic models with overlapping content, which can often become difficult to manage and maintain data quality in an organization when duplicative measures in so many models get created. But what if you could centrally manage measures and reuse them across multiple semantic models?
In this session, we’ll explore the new Metrics Hub and show how it can enhance the discoverability and reuse of Metrics derived from measures in enterprise semantic models.
