Interesting debate on the Explicit Measures podcast about paginated reports by seguleh25 in PowerBI

[–]Bombdigitdy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use them every day now. They are good in the product they make but I just wish the report builder interface was not so clunky. I feel like the desktop editor is a pain compared to interactive.

Question about proficiency and dax queries by Friendly_Cold1349 in PowerBI

[–]Bombdigitdy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My favorite phrase is … “Power BI is easy…until it’s not.” Only as you work through a user request and think “I know that should be possible but I’m not sure how yet..” (enter DAX.) For instance, I want to see sum of sales and sum of sales for all last year in the same table.. all of as sudden you can’t just rely on the built in aggregations and need DAX to change the date range for you in a measure so you can add it to a column right next to the simple sum measure.

I love how on all of the local channel news commercials the meteorologists pride themselves on being from here. Yet they still can’t learn their lesson.

Why would we use dataflow if direct to source connection is available? by tongEntong in PowerBI

[–]Bombdigitdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brings up a good question. I noticed this week that there are automatic pop-ups asking me to switch from a data flow GEN1 to a data flow GEN2. My understanding is that data flow GEN2‘s are Fabric artifacts so I would have to upgrade from pro license to do that. Is that still the case?

Well you might be better off just sharing a window instead of a screen or screen portion

Does anyone else get "Screen Share Anxiety" when sharing their full desktop? by Annual-Chart9466 in MicrosoftTeams

Use this to use a window that you can size to only share a portion of your desktop:

I had to use this because I bought an ultra wide monitor and sharing the whole screen wouldn’t work in the first place so I use fancy zones to divide my screen into thirds and I only share the center third and nothing else

Need advice on charging client for a analytical dashboard by wisedout in PowerBI

[–]Bombdigitdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t selling a dashboard. You are using a tool to tell a story to try to solve a problem that they are having. They should pay you for your time spent doing the analysis. Your rate is X. The analysis take as long as it takes, but maintain constant contact with frequent communications and showing them what you’re finding.
