As enterprise reporting requirements mature, out-of-the-box Power BI setups quickly hit their practical limits. Enforcing row-level security (RLS) can inadvertently blind team leads to critical organizational benchmarks, while standard time-intelligence functions frequently break down when business users demand non-standard period comparisons.
To tackle these exact architectural challenges, TriFinance is partnering with dataMinds to host an in-person knowledge session on Tuesday, November 24, 2026, at our Zaventem office. Join us for an evening of advanced Power BI engineering, proven DAX patterns, and production-ready semantic modeling frameworks.
Session 1: RLS without compromise: secure detail, company-wide insight
Speaker: Anke Paelman, Senior Project Consultant Data & Reporting at TriFinance
Row-level security typically isolates users within their specific department or business unit. However, operational managers still need context: how does their performance stack up against company averages?
In this session, Anke walks through a real-world Power BI implementation that bridges this gap. You will learn the exact data modeling setup and DAX patterns required to grant users secure, granular departmental detail while dynamically computing organizational-level benchmarks, without compromising data governance.
Session 2: One date table isn’t enough: advanced time intelligence in Power BI
Speaker: Evert Augustyns, Senior Project Manager Data & Reporting at TriFinance
Time-based analysis drives almost every management report, yet business requirements often outgrow the native capabilities of a single connected date table. Comparing custom non-calendar ranges, building flexible scenario models, and slicing visuals independently can introduce immense complexity.
Evert demonstrates a robust architectural pattern combining a standard connected date table with a disconnected date dimension. Drawing from enterprise client deployments, he shows how this pattern unlocks fully dynamic filtering behavior while keeping your semantic model clean, maintainable, and fast.
