The September 2020 update to Power BI Desktop is out!

 

Join us online for a terrific presentation by Microsoft MVP Chris Wagner,
Analytics Architect, Mentor, Leader, and Visionary.

Chris has been working in the Data and Analytics space for nearly 20 years. Chris has dedicated his professional career to making data and information accessible to the masses. A significant component in making data available is continually learning new things and teaching others from these experiences. To help people keep up with this ever-changing landscape, Chris frequently posts on LinkedIn and to his blog.

Come hear a talk you've likely never heard anywhere else: The Meyers Briggs Personality Types You Find in a Self-Service BI Platform. Chris will walk you through how people's different personality traits impact their relationship with data, and what that means for the creators of self-service BI solutions.

The talk is free, virtual, and open to the public. Just sign up and join the Zoom conference on Thursday, October 15, at 11:30 AM Central.

 

There is now a connector on the Power Platform for Azure API Management. That means that, if your enterprise has invested resources in building APIs in Azure, you can now expose them easily through a common connector to your citizen developers.

 

I have so many clients who would love to see this right now! They export their visuals to a PowerPoint document and add context…manually. With Smart Narrative, you can now do that right inside your Power BI report. Depending on how well this works, this could be huge!
