This post gets concrete: we&rsquo;re going to write some YAML.</p> <p>If you&rsquo;ve read the docs and felt a little unsure about what each field does or when to use it, this walkthrough is for you. We&rsquo;ll start from the simplest possible definition and build it up step by step — adding a calculated dimension, then a window measure.</p>https://tjbrown.ai/posts/01-introduction-metric-views-for-powerbi-developers/Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://tjbrown.ai/posts/01-introduction-metric-views-for-powerbi-developers/<p>This blog post is for you: the Power BI Developer. If you&rsquo;re reading this, perhaps you&rsquo;ve already mastered Power BI semantic modeling. You know how to create Power BI data models with relationships, and understand how to use DAX to create calculated measures and calculated measures.</p> <p>I have some good news. <strong>Those semantic modeling skills are transferrable</strong>. The better news: <strong>Databricks Metric Views are simpler and more powerful than Power BI semantic models</strong>. If you haven&rsquo;t taken a look at Metric Views for a while, I do believe now is the time to get ahead of this, because the calculation capabilities.</p>
