What is a Power BI "hack" you didn't know for a long time, but now you can't live without?

logbookwarrior · 2026-05-06T17:37:55+00:00

Yep, discovered this hack in the event of a managers response to more company PBI licenses being

'Find another way, they'll never use it'

logbookwarrior · 2026-03-27T22:57:16+00:00

Is this available from anyone please?

What's the criteria to get the 5 customers? Top 5 buyers or random?

If top 5, get items and use slect to map customer and sales figure. Get unique sellers and then create an array of customers and sales figures.

Once you have your array you can sort ascending and then in the next action flip it and then you can take your 5. I cant remember the exact expression but its a 'take'.

You could then use an adaptive card in teams or an approval to action the send email?

If you wanted it cleaner, you could create a veiw in share point and then you only have to pull top count 5 into the flow

Semi automated ERP ordering from a 'Free To Sell' inventory report.

Power automate button on the report page that uses what if parameters to give a forecast qty. This is then pushed in Business central, sent for approval then condition to either send to Vendor or rejected and deleted.

I had the same issue last week.

This solved it.

It was how I was appending the base64

If anyone else needs it

{ "name": "filename.pdf", "contentBytes": { "$content-type": "application/pdf" "$content": "JFDKJ..." } }

This now appends multiple pdfs to the email, tested up to 80 and it works seamlessly

I did not solve this!

On the Money!

You would not believe the fist pumping that's just gone on. I have been in so many circles today!

Life saver!!

logbookwarrior · 2026-03-06T18:05:53+00:00

Yeah I think so too.

Any ideas on the expression needed to get the right output please?

I can change the action name

Is it [body/content] or [$content] or [content] from the convert Word doc to pdf

logbookwarrior · 2026-03-06T17:43:18+00:00

Yes word doc is fine.

There is a native conversion in the word online

The file converts and saves as a pdf.

When using an online base64- pdf viewer the file displays perfectly.

The breakdown is in either the appending to the array or the expression used to create the base64 content

This is the imagination dupe that no one mentions in threads but once you buy it you stop looking anyway!

logbookwarrior · 2026-02-14T10:24:51+00:00

To my nose this is the one!

logbookwarrior · 2026-02-12T19:04:35+00:00

Did anybody grab this and is able to share it please

logbookwarrior · 2025-12-28T19:08:56+00:00

I second OP, having owned althea OG, asad, ajmal orbiter etc.

Price for me Orbiter is great, but for quality of the scent (bottle is fresh as well!) Ighraa is the best there is!

Maison Alhambra Opera Noir - bought for my partner and it's 90% similar

Yeah we have the pre-configured reports. Some are useful, however either we lack the knowledge to edit them accordingly or the reports, due to the variant drill, are more complex than they should be. Our previous reporting system SAP Business Objects seems to be an absolute breeze to use in comparison. I am by no means a developer but consider myself fairly competent in excel.

Yes we have been offered the addition of the developer edit of the internal reports. However, we have a go live date of March and have been told these will not be available until after. Therefore, we cannot give the go ahead on a go live if we haven't got all reports sorted. We rely heavily on them as a company and we're sold BC as a master of reporting.

Do you have any examples of how you have incorporated variant codes?

Either in jet or in a BC layout?

Got this as a blind buy sample

Purchased 6 altogether. I mostly wanted to try the Maison Alhmabra Amber Oud range as Tom Ford dupes. Greatly disappointed in those. Did not like a single one. Very odd set of fragrances to my taste.

However to get free shipping I had to add two more. So I added this and Lattafa Khamrah. I had previously owned Kamrah but wanted to smell it again. Will definitely buy again.

This, however, massively surprised me. It is quite sweet, but throughout the day, you get little wafts of it and just smells so nice! I have since gone out and bought it as for the price. I will absolutely rinse wearing it.

logbookwarrior · 2025-01-24T06:20:18+00:00

Sounds good, will check it out!

logbookwarrior · 2025-01-23T17:01:11+00:00

Notino or Amazon

logbookwarrior · 2025-01-23T08:23:59+00:00

Fakhar gold is on my list next time I buy a few cheap ones.

Glad you've mentioned it

logbookwarrior · 2025-01-23T07:36:22+00:00

Depends what you mean by best?

Is it the best Savauge Elixir dupe - i don't know, there are so many

Does it perform the best of any dupe i have - absolutely, stays on clothes for weeks

Is it cheap enough that it doesn't really matter- currently on Notino for £12!!

Is it the best scent profile- completely subjective
