If you’re around on Monday, October 18, I’ll be presenting at Nashville’s premiere analytics conference, the Nashville Analytics Summit, on the basics of Data Modeling for Power BI. Be sure to stop by, or attend virtually!
Microsoft is making Power BI Premium Gen 2 (or Next-gen Premium, as they’re calling it now) generally available. If you use Premium capacity and have not yet upgraded, this will really help scale and enhance your workloads.
I get asked this all the time: What resources do you recommend for learning Power BI / DAX? Adam Saxton gives you a great list of resources for beginners, intermediates, and experts.
Microsoft is previewing an API to see artifacts not used in the last 30 days. If you are an admin, this will be very useful.
You know how you can double-click on a measure in a Pivot Table in Excel to examine the rows of the data within the filter context? Marco Russo and Alberto Ferrari have a great tip for customizing the results when connecting to Power BI datasets. This is really useful for people who want to examine their data at a high level and go into a row-by-row level of detail.
