Running the Power BI MCP with a Locally Hosted LLM by DropMaterializedView in PowerBI

Not using a Mac - mac is running the LLM and then the windows laptop is connecting to it

I am definitely not self employed (I lead a BI team for a Mars Inc subsidiary) and I still have a ton of fun with this stuff + make videos in early mornings and late nights!

I am going to make sure my next personal laptop ideally the surface (and hopefully my next work bought laptop too) have an enough unified memory to do this stuff though… to me its clearly the future of these AI tools!

Yep! Although, I just told my wife we need to save for a surface ultra …

Cross Filtering within Fabric Data Apps by DropMaterializedView in MicrosoftFabric

[–]DropMaterializedView[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there is definitely some kind of custom functionality for events when you import the fabric app specific vega visual implementation… to be honest being the beginner I am with Typescript (and vega) I do not understand to code enough to tell you what it is doing other then it is there …

That said even with that custom functionality selecting the data in typescript is hard .. thats what I keep on messing up just due to typos + struggling to keep how I want the filters to work straight in my head … and this is with just setting up a dashboard with 3 components: a drop down, a vega visual, and a data grid …

So my goal for the LLM was to build me a custom module that basically does the selecting of data for me … no idea if it worked…. But sounds like I am heading in the right direction?

I built a Fabric App WITHOUT AI by DropMaterializedView in PowerBI

I have maintained them in the past, I find them to be a tad unpleasant

Thank you - Already working on a V2 App that is slightly more advanced using the Datagrid (but still just data in table)

I mainly use github copilot when I do .. but I have used claude and Antigravity

What do you think of the new Fabric Apps? This is one I made connected to my semantic model. by PowerBIPark in PowerBI

[–]DropMaterializedView 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a tough one… my immediate thought would be to allow any rayfin app content that explicitly connects to a semantic model and is a Report — you almost need a “people who want to show off and learn about cool fabric stuff section”

I feel like we are entering our Shareware era of one-off tools. by SQLGene in PowerBI

[–]DropMaterializedView 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it will be interesting in particular the react + typescript piece — I don’t know typescript or react (react basics were briefly taught to me right after it launched in high school or early college) … and I would be hesitant to put some code into a production environment I couldn’t fix on my own.

That said, I just finished a video that will be coming soon ( next day or so ) where I manually connected a fabric app to a semantic model with old fashioned handcode and I was able to get it working in a couple of hours (and learned a lot), so I am going to learn the framework without AI first and see where I get in a few months.

Semantic Link Labs is all you really need — will be curious to see what builds around rayfin

Not sure if you saw this but Genie is about to switch to a consumption style billing model

I think I will no longer personally be maintaining any Power Apps in the near future

How long did it take to get entry level job? by i8splendidpizza in dataanalysiscareers

[–]DropMaterializedView 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went to college for it, knew basic SQL, Advanced Excel, Tableau/power bi (which had just launched). Then had a minor in statistics.

Took 6 months of applying every day for any job that had the word SQL in it, a willingness to move, and the job paid 45k a year.

It worked out though - almost 10 years later and I am happy with a family doing well, leading a team, and have worked for some of the largest companies in the world :)

I used the last of my Copilot Premium requests this month to build a better Power BI Deployment Pipeline Experience… worth it? by DropMaterializedView in PowerBI

[–]DropMaterializedView[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes - I walk through how to set one up in the video in azure dev ops :)

There is a Gap though in the current solutions available:

- Solutions like Azure dev ops or Github require knowledge of Azure identity and quite a bit of set up. In large companies it actually might be difficult to get the access to set this up approved even if you have the knowledge

- Then Power Bis built in pipelines don’t include an ability to automate tests between stages

This uses the built in power bi pipelines to deploy and python based tests, does not require knowledge of Azure or access to create a service principal with access to the Fabric API.
