	• AI workflows and agentic development for Power BI: An initial review The main article of this newsletter is like an introduction of the whitepaper and course created by Kurt Buhler for SQLBI+ subscribers. If you do not have time to read the weekly news about what is happening with AI applied to semantic models and reports development, this material can prepare you to know what is going on and help you create a proof of concept with your data and semantic models.

	• Useful community tools and resources for Power BI and Fabric We have a tools page on the SQLBI website, dedicated to DAX, but there are several other tools that can be helpful in your daily tasks. The list is not complete, many tools are not mature, but you often just need the right screwdriver! Aug 24, 2025 · Chris Webb
	• Semantic model refresh templates in Power BI (preview) If you use Fabric, you can customize complex model refresh scenarios by using Data pipelines. The news is the template gallery, which can give you some help and ideas, like activating an event-driven refresh (yes, it is still a data-driven data pipeline). Aug 26, 2025 · Microsoft
	• Declarative data transformations with materialized Lake Views If you have ever heard about materialized views in SQL Server, we now have the materialized lake view in data lake. For those not used to SQL that knows Power BI, it is like a DAX calculated table but... in SQL (well, only Spark SQL for now). Aug 26, 2025 · Microsoft
