Weekly Roundup for May 17, 2021

The May 2021 feature summary for Power BI is out!

 

Don’t forget to sign up to hear Alex Powers go through the “Paginated Reports in an Hour” program. Join us *online* as we meetup again to share ideas around Power BI, Modern Excel, and Power Apps.

This month Alex Powers, Senior Program Manager of the Power BI Customer Advisory Team, joins to give us hands-on-keyboard training on paginated reports in Power BI. There are lots of occasions when paginated reports are called for over the "sliceable and diceable" reports you might be used to in Power BI, so this will be an invaluable technique in your BI toolset.

Paginated Reports in an Hour

This session will include a live hands-on-keyboard training for attendees, teaching you how to get started with creating Paginated Reports for Power BI to meet all your end user “Export-to” and Parameter based needs.
