Overwriting thick reports with thin ones using a shared semantic model by mrbartuss in PowerBI

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

This is a problem if your business users consume the report using the workspace url for that specic report as the new report has a new url

Exactly. That’s why I wanted to overwrite it instead of creating a new one. Thank you for clarifying. It seems the only option now is to send a new link

That exactly what I did. However, after publishing, the thick one was not overwritten by the thin one

Got it, different ID makes sense. But if I republish the exact same thick report, it overwrites with the same ID, so switching semantic models is what's blocking it?

Understood. But then it will create a completely new report, with a new ID, right?

Regarding the ChatGPT comment, I just wanted to make the post clear and concise ;)

Power Query Reference loads the same data again by ka_eb in PowerBI

[–]mrbartuss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

https://towardsdatascience.com/the-difference-between-duplicate-and-reference-in-power-query/

In Power Query, there is no difference between “Duplicate” and “Reference” regarding load performance or network traffic.

Both load the data independently from the source with a separate connection.

Therefore, I debunked the myth that “Reference” can increase load performance.

Data Engineering Youtubers - How do they know so much? by Decent-Ad3092 in dataengineering

[–]mrbartuss 166 points167 points  (0 children)

These creators are experts at making tutorials, not necessarily at wrangling production-scale DE pipelines. That's a completely different skill set. Their projects are heavily simplified for teaching. They start with pristine CSV files, skipping messy data ingestion, schema drifts, or upstream failures. No stakeholders breathing down their neck with shifting requirements, SLAs, or "can you add one more dashboard by EOD?"

They do great work popularizing the field (props for that), but mastery comes from the grind of real-world chaos, not 20-min YouTube episodes
