Add Data at Scale | Datamart in Power BI

Datamart is a new self-service capability included with Power BI Premium that reduces the time it takes to do custom departmental reporting, from weeks to minutes. In just a few clicks, both business users and analysts can easily create and access their own mix of data from dozens of the most common data types and services, all backed by Azure SQL that brings elastic scale and ad-hoc analysis to Power BI. Charles Webb, from the data team at Microsoft, joins Jeremy Chapman to show you a Datamart in action.
