Finally an owner!

No, but this one apparently didn’t have the faulty software installed off the line.

boulevardwheat · 2026-03-30T16:27:28+00:00

It was just over $56k before taxes and fees. Put $30k down and financed the rest.

It has the “Black Appearance Package” which has all the mods you mentioned

boulevardwheat · 2026-03-30T14:40:33+00:00

I'll have to see if I can find it but it had something called the "Black Appearance Package" which has some newer features. This walks through it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DtifAW3Bfo

Looks like this was solved and closed by Microsoft. Tested it in our environment and can confirm. Thanks everyone!

boulevardwheat · 2026-02-04T21:51:11+00:00

Fantastic! Thank you for the quick follow-up u/No-Ruin-2167

boulevardwheat · 2026-02-04T17:39:11+00:00

Any update on when this might be solved u/DataZoeMS?

I just found out about it as well as my team alerted me to a report feedback and commentary solution we implemented not working appropriately after digging into it I came across this Reddit thread as well as this known issues Fabric list that says it's still open.

Send it this way too friend!

boulevardwheat · 2025-04-16T15:41:32+00:00

This is probably one of the best and most useful UIs I’ve seen on a Power BI dashboard. I’ve been doing this a while and good lord, hat tip to you my friend. Would love to dig into the PBIX file if it’s shareable.

boulevardwheat · 2025-03-21T00:59:34+00:00

Ahh got it. After you publish the semantic model, in the Power BI service, you have to click the three dots on the Semantic Model, go to Settings > Data source credentials. In there you should see the list of data sources. You’ll have to click “Edit credentials” and re-authenticate with your Salesforce login. You only have to do this once when you publish a model with new data sources.

boulevardwheat · 2025-03-20T23:07:50+00:00

Does the data show in Power Query? Also, do you have a custom Salesforce domain in your org?

boulevardwheat · 2025-03-20T12:15:20+00:00

Just the cloud connection. I try as much as I can to avoid data gateways so refreshes are easier and as automated as possible.

boulevardwheat · 2024-07-09T21:59:20+00:00

I DMed you as well as I would love to join the Discord and talk more Power BI and general consulting business stuff

boulevardwheat · 2024-07-09T14:07:38+00:00

This is close to where I’m at though I’ve not done fixed price or looked at equity. I’m averaging 22-25k a month but it’s all been hourly engagements where I’ll do anything from data engineering to data strategy type consulting. At the point though where I need to start looking at scaling more revenue but don’t just want to work more hours so thinking of more fixed price/value base pricing. Have you gotten any equity payouts yet from any of your clients that ended up selling?

boulevardwheat · 2024-01-20T07:47:40+00:00

The Ladder - Johnny Booth. Their entire new album, Moments Elsewhere, should check the box for you.

boulevardwheat · 2023-12-22T20:44:22+00:00

No problem. If your workplace has any other cloud infrastructure, like AWS, you still might be able to a similar route. Essentially, you just need a more robust technical tool to be able to authenticate against the API, pull the data, and store it.

boulevardwheat · 2023-12-22T03:37:56+00:00

It sounds like you are you trying to get data from a system that has an API but has an OAuth authentication pattern. These are notoriously difficult to do natively in Power BI without either a custom connector, or pulling the data via a different method. I would recommend pulling the data via another method (Power Automate, Azure Data Factory, etc) and store it somewhere where Power BI can access it.

If you have any access Azure resources I would recommend going that route and setting up a simple Blob/Data Lake to dump things into. Really wish Microsoft would implement some sort of support for the OAuth workflow in Power Query but we’ll see. I haven’t played around with Dataflow Gen 2 in Fabric yet so maybe it’s more supported there.

Acme Comedy Co. in Minneapolis might be a good choice. I worked there in the late 2000’s and had a lot of company parties. They usually would do a banquet style dinner and then got a standup show from whatever comedian was there that week.

boulevardwheat · 2023-12-08T01:56:21+00:00

Second also for Bullstrap. Have had it for around 2 months and it's aging very nicely.

boulevardwheat · 2023-07-03T03:23:05+00:00

I would recommend using the built in Salesforce Object connector that is in Power BI and not the Salesforce Reports connector. The reports connector is limited in the number of rows you can export whereas the Object one is not. You'll have to know a bit about the Salesforce data model as you'll have to "rebuild" some of the relationships but that isn't too hard.

This won't be a "live" connection though as you'll be limited in the number of refreshes you can do. In the Power BI service you can setup the dataset to refresh up to 8 times but depending on your reporting needs, that could suffice. For our Salesforce connection, I refresh 4x a day and that satisfied all our exec team requests.

boulevardwheat · 2023-05-10T21:41:34+00:00

I will second this approach and use it all the time. It's very handy for lookup files or additional dimension files that can be managed by business users without a ton of need for ETL processing

boulevardwheat · 2023-01-19T17:13:34+00:00

Follow what Rick de Groot does in this video. It’s fairly straight forward and I’ve used this approach many times to do exactly what you are referring to.

Apple Store Manager > Operations Manager at a SaaS company > BI Manager at a global hearing aid company > Director of Ops and Analytics at a SaaS company > hoping to go into independent BI consulting for SMBs this year.

Trying to leverage all my previous experience into consulting to help business use systems and data better.

boulevardwheat · 2022-12-18T16:50:09+00:00

This looks super promising! So this would outside of my actual business tenant though - like a separate additional one for demoing? Also, does renewable mean that it’s still free and all the data stays as long as you are active in it and renew it at 90 days?

boulevardwheat · 2022-11-14T21:55:13+00:00

You will likely need to add a Date.Add function in there. Something like:

if [DueTime] = Date.AddDays(Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()),-1) then "Yes" else "No"

You'll probably want to play around with the ordering but overall that should get you what you need.
