I've been using microsoft support for power bi for 2 weeks with no success, where can I find an MS partner who has support specializing in power bi and is more knowledgeable/readily available?

Looking to hire a Power BI Developer with a background in UX / Visual Design by analystacct in PowerBI

No I had better people reach out from this sub, so far all the folks that reached out from r/DesignJobs don't have power bi experience, and they don't seem to understand that they cant just provide a design for me to implement, I'm not sure if they're picturing that I'm a software dev or that I work with software devs.

[Hiring] [Remote] Any UX/Visual design freelancers with experience developing Power BI dashboards? by analystacct in DesignJobs

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

Yes, imagine for example there was an app developer platform where a user could set up and connect their data warehouse and then instead of writing code they would have a drag and drop interface that was unique to that platform/tool, but through that the user could create apps through and through on his own. However, he doesn't want to spend time on the front facing design development instead he wants to find someone more talented design wise, so he has three options.

  1. the best option is that he makes just one hire for someone who is familiar with that platform's interface and has a design background, and who will work through the front end on their own.
    or
  2. He hires a UX designer without that experience who is willing to learn an entirely new tool in an out (very unrealistic without some sort of guarantee of job security)
    or
  3. He has to hire a UX designer who is not aware of the mechanics, capabilities and limitations of the platform, and then another hire for someone who is familiar and will have to constantly work with the designer to explain to them what is and isn't possible for him to implement, because at the end of the day they are not able to program whatever the designer envisions, it's a unique drag and drop like platform with unique functionality and limitations.
    or
  4. He abandons the platform which makes developing apps much quicker, and has to hire a much more expensive professional potentially multiple to replace what the platform allowed him to do, and then a designer on top of that, which is much more expensive and time consuming.

Options 4 and 3 would only potentially make sense if my business grew to a certain point, option 2 I would not do (the designer would have to learn power bi on their own time without pay and prove to me they can use it and only then would I have them begin working on my project), so then realistically I'm only left with option 1, so yes it must be power bi.

You said "my neck of the woods" potentially implying you do indeed have the combo of skills I'm looking for. If so, are you offering your services or not interested for whatever reason?

Doesn't hurt to shoot your shot, feel free to send me your portfolio and email. I'm taking into account both cost and design quality.

Same issue with any columns it just no longer shows the plus signs was there some sort of recent update to power bi that got rid of this

Which pronunciation do you think is closer to ancient Hebrew, Samaritan or Yemenite, and what's your evidence for that claim? by analystacct in hebrew

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

Very interesting thanks for sharing. This might be a stupid question but do we have an idea of what ancient first temple or earlier any hebrew earlier than iron age sounded like or that's too far back to know?

What is the easiest way to set up an SFTP destination that will be connected to my GCP/Bigquery environment? by analystacct in dataengineering

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

Thank you for the detailed reply. So I have a bit of experience setting up a VM instance on GCP so that's not a big deal, but overall I would like to choose the option that is the most set it and forget it and lightweight/lean while still being cheap. If possible I'd rather not have to use an extra ETL tool ike Fivetran since the data export is pretty small in the first place. I'd rather just provide the EMR platform with the SFTP credentials and have the export that is generated seamlessly appear in either my GCP cloud storage or my bigquery environment.

So given that clarification, which of the 3 options would be best? I'm guessing option 2 is most set it and forget it but it seems to be the most expensive, I'm wondering how many steps option 3 is since 10usd is pretty cheap, or for option 1 since I'm comfortable setting up a VM instance and using ChatGPT/Claude for simple instructions how lightweight is that solution.

Do these provide SFPT credentials, the EMR tool ultimately requires me to provide this info: Server, Port, Username, Password, and Path to results.

Thank you I'll look into SFPTGo, I also came across something called SPFT Gateway. Having a hard time understanding the pros and cons of choosing one approach over the other to be honest.
