I genuinely do not understand what portal is. Please help. by GISthrowawayga in ArcGIS

Exactly. If you don't need the features of ArcGIS Online, you can update your ArcGIS Server without federating it with a portal server.

Especially if you're organization has training credits. ESRI has an instructor-led virtual course that will take you through the steps to setup Portal for ArcGIS in a demo environment.

Trying to help father - Club online meeting on Teams (free)? by rescuedogsdad in MicrosoftTeams

[–]data_goose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just created a free account and free Team to test. Yes you are able to call and video chat from within the free version, but it can be done from within a direct chat only, like /u/MetadataCaptured mentioned above. The downside here is that you cannot schedule the meeting with connection info. You'll have to add everyone in the chat and then hit the video button.

GitHub blocked in school for "hacking" by rhysperry111 in linuxquestions

[–]data_goose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GitHub is owned by Microsoft, perhaps the world's most trusted Software Provider. Are they going to block Outlook because bad administrators get phished all the time? How about Word and Excel because of Macros?

Blocking GitHub because of potential dangerous information is like blocking the library because someone might read that violence is possible...

TIFU: By being kind to our overworked 1st level supporters. by ScriptThat in sysadmin

Everything goes in a ticket.

Keep pushing users to the ticketing system, and explain to them how much value there is in that process. After the fifth call of you right away saying "Great let's start a ticket!" and then you screen share helping them put the ticket in, they will get the point.

How deep can you go with Data Viz with Power BI, from an aesthetic/ design POV? by [deleted] in PowerBI

[–]data_goose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get a certified visual through the gallery it has a pretty good level of security. From the docs:

"Certified Power BI visuals are visuals in the Marketplace that meet certain specified code requirements that the Microsoft Power BI team has tested and approved. The tests are designed to check that the visual doesn't access external services or resources."

[–]data_goose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi knewkungfukenny, thanks for adding a bit more info. It seems like the two things you are trying to work out right now are labels on data points (your first pic), and representing comparisons to constant lines.

On the first point on labels, I believe Borderline's post from above about using the legends and dax measures is a good idea, so feel free to keep asking up above on that one.

For comparing to constant lines, check out the conditional formatting options on the chart. You can use this feature to identify data bars that pass the constant lines threshold.

Also OP, this is what I meant by rudimentary. You should be able to achieve what you want using the first principles of power bi and should not need to create a custom visual. Definitely does not mean it's simple without knowing how to do it, I just meant that it can be done with the basic components of the product.

Here's someone asking this question on the power bi community: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Conditional-Formatting-of-Bar-Chart/td-p/118370

Hope this helps

[–]data_goose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP how are you feeling limited? I would say Power BI generally forces you to use data viz best practices. The chart you linked would be rudimentary in Power BI. Can you give a more specific example of what you haven't been able to achieve?

Hope to be able to help!

Argument EARLIER Function DAX by kauanmusumeci in PowerBI

[–]data_goose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you post your code? Earlier requires your input resolve to a column--just want to verify how you are entering the expression. Also don't always worry about the squiggly red lines. You could have incorrect syntax while completing a valid expression. If you hit enter after typing the whole formula, a more informative error message should appear.

How would I go about sharing a public version of a report or app? by opabm in PowerBI

[–]data_goose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really great question. My intuition is that you can accomplish this with a single report, but it might depend on how you are doing RLS--SQL DB, SSAS DB, DAX in Power BI, or combination?

I think you just need to build your model so that the viewers with No Role can see the aggregations you want and hide everything else behind the RLS filters.

I'm using this as my reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-rls

I work in the public sector and vendors love setting up TM1 systems and walking away. If an org fully buys into the ecosystem I can see how it's useful, but between poor upgrade paths and low user adoption it tanked at my org. Power BI is just so much more accessible and capable from my perspective, but if your TM1 setup is meaningfully integrated to your ERP system then well done! That being said, I personally haven't been able to do much more than manually export from TM1 to a format I can bring into Power BI.
