Power BI × Azure Synapse Analytics で実現する次世代データ分析基盤

大規模データ処理から可視化まで統合ソリューション

はじめに

現代の企業では、増大し続けるデータから価値のある洞察を得ることが競争優位性の源泉となっています。Azure Synapse AnalyticsとPower BIの組み合わせは、ペタバイト級のデータ処理から直感的な可視化まで、エンドツーエンドのデータ分析基盤を提供します。本記事では、実際の大規模導入プロジェクトでの経験を基に、両者を活用した統合データ分析ソリューションの構築方法を詳しく解説します。

Azure Synapse Analytics 概要

アーキテクチャの特徴

Azure Synapse Analyticsは、データ統合、データウェアハウス、ビッグデータ分析を統合したサービスです。

-- 専用SQLプールでの大規模データ処理例

    ProductKey INT NOT NULL,
    SalesAmount DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL,
    SalesQuantity INT NOT NULL,
    CreatedDate DATETIME2 NOT NULL
)
WITH

Power BI 統合実装

DirectQuery vs Import Mode

// DAXによる高度な計算メジャー例
TotalSales = 
SUM(SalesFactLarge[SalesAmount])

// 前年同月比較
SalesGrowthYoY = 
VAR CurrentPeriodSales = [TotalSales]
VAR PreviousYearSales = 
    CALCULATE(
        [TotalSales],
        SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DateDimension[Date])
    )
RETURN
    DIVIDE(
        CurrentPeriodSales - PreviousYearSales,
        PreviousYearSales,
        0
    )

// 累積売上
CumulativeSales = 
CALCULATE(
    [TotalSales],
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED(DateDimension[Date]),
        DateDimension[Date] <= MAX(DateDimension[Date])
    )
)

// 上位N顧客分析
TopNCustomersSales = 
VAR TopNCustomers = 10
VAR RankedCustomers = 
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        SUMMARIZE(
            SalesFactLarge,
            CustomerDimension[CustomerKey],
            CustomerDimension[CustomerName]
        ),

    )
VAR TopCustomers = 
    TOPN(

        DESC
    )
RETURN

高速化のためのモデル最適化

// 計算テーブルによるディメンション最適化
DateDimension = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    CALENDAR(DATE(2020,1,1), DATE(2030,12,31)),
    "Year", YEAR([Date]),
    "Month", MONTH([Date]),
    "Quarter", QUARTER([Date]),
    "MonthName", FORMAT([Date], "MMMM"),
    "DayOfWeek", WEEKDAY([Date]),
    "IsWeekend", WEEKDAY([Date]) IN {1,7},
    "FiscalYear", IF(MONTH([Date]) >= 4, YEAR([Date]), YEAR([Date])-1),
    "YearMonth", FORMAT([Date], "YYYY-MM")
)

// 階層構造の定義
ProductHierarchy = 
PATH(
    ProductDimension[ProductKey],
    ProductDimension[CategoryKey]
)
