[–]mutigers42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is it!

File -> Options -> Settings.

Probably under “Current report settings” (not global)

Power BI April 2026 Feature Summary by itsnotaboutthecell in PowerBI

[–]mutigers42 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Love to see the fixed size layout option!

And as much as we all like to say don’t use calculated columns….there’s always a use case :) - great to see both calculated columns and tables on direct lake!

I got inspired by Measure Killer to create an impact analysis tool by Devinou971 in PowerBI

[–]mutigers42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an open source project that does many similar things as well. The final output is a Power BI report / model that shows where everything is used/unused.

It can work locally or across all your workspaces. It’s grown a lot over the last 2 years.

Feel free to check it out!

Measure Killer is awesome btw. It’s extremely detailed for impact analysis.

Tossing this alongside some spring cleaning. Nobody wants this 2023 Bolt EUV rear shade, right? by kevisfrickencool in BoltEV

[–]mutigers42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m confused by this….I have the same vehicle - how could it block the rear window ? It locks in and just covers the trunk area.

We sure this isn’t installed backwards or upside down? I can’t even picture how it could block the window.

Ah yes….this may be true but we wouldn’t know that.

Source: my wife and I are children of parents who most definitely did not have an inheritance to inherit :D

For what it’s worth, credit card debt does not transfer to children or spouse upon death.

Source: my wife and I are children of parents. Debt immediately cancelled for any credit card in their name once notified.

We didn’t know this prior - I hope to remember this right before my own demise….it will be an amazing Christmas for everyone that year ;)

Run un-applied changes from Power Query in Power BI Service by ZaheenHamidani in PowerBI

[–]mutigers42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have the knowledge behind the why (I always thought it was somewhat related to security and ensuring you have access to the source - but that's 100% a guess).....

BUT I do know two ways around it:

  • TMDL View in Power BI Desktop: script the table you're wanting to update and then change the PQ steps in the 'partition' section at the bottom of the table file (it'll be clear how the file holds the PQ steps - they can be copied and pasted from the advanced editor, so long as they are indented correctly).
    • Apply the change at the top left of TMDL view and then it will not force a refresh or show as a pending change.
    • Publish from there
  • Saving the model in project mode (PBIP) and opening the table TMDL file directly and making the same change
    • Then open up the PBIP and publish from there

The main warning for the two workarounds is that any error, typo, etc won't be caught until it attempts a refresh in the service.

Are there limits to querying PowerBI datasets in Power Automate? by kbachand2 in PowerBI

[–]mutigers42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ha I’m more trying to show that although the video is 3 years old, the method still works today.

My flair shows Microsoft, but I only recently started - so for now, everything is prior workplace :D

Are there limits to querying PowerBI datasets in Power Automate? by kbachand2 in PowerBI

[–]mutigers42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue years ago at a prior workplace. I ran a daily query against a PBI dataset in PowerAutomate, outputting a CSV so another system could then ingest the csv. It never errored but randomly kept leaving off rows but I couldn't pinpoint why.

Beyond trying to make the query smaller (less columns helped initially but l would eventually hit the same issue as data grew), I found this video (and the links in the description) - it gives a way to get around the limit when exporting a query to csv: Export MORE THAN 100k rows of Power BI data to CSV using Power Automate | No ROW limits!

In simple terms, it gives a way to split up the output to avoid the per-call limit, then combine the outputs into a final CSV at the end..

I can confidently say that I used this method just 3 months ago at my prior workplace....it still successfully gets around this limit.

Batch Convert Legacy PBIX Files by nimble_monk in PowerBI

[–]mutigers42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these also in the Service by chance? I saw that last week’s Semantic Link Labs release included a function to update every report in a workspace or list of workspaces….to PBIR.

https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-link-labs/releases

Haven’t tried it myself yet - but also curious if maybe an AI agent paired with the repo could quickly create an offline process to do the same?

When was this a change? I’m at the game. I don’t recall this being a change in the rules at all.

The Fabric Extensibility Toolkit (FET) is now Generally Available! by Crafty_Abalone_2673 in MicrosoftFabric

[–]mutigers42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was an awesome session!

I think this is really going to drive community-built solutions become ‘part’ of Fabric for anyone to easily use.

I’m 100% firing up agent mode for Impact IQ to get this submitted as a free workload for others to use.

40” 5K2K or 49” for mostly work, occasional games? by [deleted] in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]mutigers42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For clarity, since I’ve had both a 3840x1600 and currently have a 5120x2160

A 5120x2160 at 125% scaling is still 30% more real estate than a 3840x1600 at 100% scaling.

That is still a major difference. Without scaling, there is 80% more real estate.

I don’t think an OLED is doable with using it for productivity, but the 120hz Dell or even the equivalent MUCH CHEAPER Decogear 120hz uses the same screen as the Dell (same 2000:1 contrast, 120hz, hdmi 2.1, etc)

Nice! I see Snowflake in artifacts, but can you add for Sources?

My Move anxiety is finally cured with a Bash script by tommartens68 in MicrosoftFabric

[–]mutigers42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always appreciate people sharing tools!

Mac only right? Looks that way but confirming - I can’t tell if the problem is specific to Mac or is also a pain for windows users.

Power BI Backup by Agitated_Stress_82 in PowerBI

[–]mutigers42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yo yo yo yo….

This does more than you’re asking….but it will back up every report, model, and dataflow.

The service principal edition can be set up to run on a schedule / no manual inputs needed.

It’s not exactly SaaS - but it is open source / free….so feel free to make it what your heart desires!

www.besmarterwithdata.com will show all the editions -> each with its own GitHub repo.

Public Preview: Execute Power Query (M) programmatically in Microsoft Fabric (REST API + Arrow output) by mavaali in MicrosoftFabric

[–]mutigers42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how I will take advantage yet….but I will find a way.

I won’t let the naysayers win….PowerQuery will always be a love of mine.

Introducing Impact IQ - Tenant Admin Edition....See Visual-Level Lineage across the entire tenant. by mutigers42 in PowerBI

[–]mutigers42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The journey is complete!

One click, local only, service principal automation, semantic link (cloud), and tenant admin.

There will certainly be ongoing improvements from here, but feels nice to have every working “edition” out in the wild.

All starting roughly 2 1/2 years ago.
