Working in #PowerBI is always such an adventure of finding new features, whether they're actually "new" or just "new to me" Today's highlight: refresh all datasets in a workspace via deployment pipelines. Has this always been a thing?

If you have already or going to install May 2024 Power BI Report Server update - you need to create environment and system variables if you are using direct queries to connect to your servers. I have written a blog post with the steps here dbanuggets.com/2024/07/31/may…

Shoutout to the #PowerQuery UI/UX teams for adding in this amazing error message when pointing to Excel docs in the web!! Known issue for a long time, but now a CLEAR and EASY TO UNDERSTAND error message! and shoutout to Matthew Roche for this old gem: youtube.com/watch?v=kpRrK8…

📝 Myths, Magic, and Copilot for Power BI 🔗 data-goblins.com/power-bi/copil… ❓ Explaining and evaluating #Copilot in #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric ❓ How it works, what it costs ❓ Walking through three different scenarios and asking "why would I use this"? A 🧵 with a summary:

After sending out my same "starter kit" to a few handfuls of people over the years, I finally decided to just type it up into a blog post! This is meant to take you beyond the MS Learn certification-prep courses, and into "building it right" dataafterdark.tips/2024/12/18/pow…

Thrilled to be able to say that I'll be speaking at the upcoming #MicrosoftFabric FabCon in Vegas! Hoping to see some familiar faces in the room, check out my session below azuredataconf.com/#!/session/Sem…

Exporting your model metadata and DAX calculations isn't "documenting your model". Why would I look at the same information that's in the actual model, but structured in a less useful and functional way? Good documentation should focus on purpose, processes, and people.

So it looks like my #FabCon session ended up ranking #1 in attendance for non-Microsoft presentations, and #3 overall for entire conference What a surreal experience to have over 1000 people want to hear me speak, according to the app I love the Microsoft Fabric community

It was awesome to see the massive #MicrosoftFabric community at #FabCon. The keynote is now available with tons of announcements and demos. Check it out. t.ly/Owy2W #PowerBI

Last week on SQLBI we published an article about tools in Power BI. Here's an overview of some (not all!) external tools that can help you, and at what stage in. Check below for a downloadable PDF. #powerbi #microsoftfabric

This is the best single article I've read so far that describes what you can and cannot do with AI-generated code. Suitable for developers and non-developers to understand what is going on beyond the hype. diwank.space/field-notes-fr…

With all of the #MVPBuzz posts going around right now, I wanted to send a shoutout to the Power BI and Fabric community at large. To all of the MVPs: Thank you for taking us on your journey with you, whether you're cataloging your own learning along the way, providing throught

This morning, I was 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 😲 (not kidding) to hear that there are consulting firms suggesting that data be moved out of semantic models to achieve a better consumption experience with LLMs. Really? What a lie. Don't listen to my words. I have a vested interest in Power

Couldn't agree more with both Marco and Rob below. A well-structured semantic model already has SO MUCH of what would allow an LLM to succeed, because it's the same inputs that your humans need to succeed in running your business. Business context? ✅ Synonyms specific to your
