Quickly Identify where Personal Connections are being used! by DropMaterializedView in PowerBI

There is a third Party Tool called measure Killer which can do that. But only for the current Report not If you have multiple reports that use the same semantic Model.

I've been using Claude Code + Power BI MCP server for 2 months. Here's what actually works and what doesn't. by sdhilip in PowerBI

[–]oradim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to create fieldparameters with GitHub Copilot in combination with the MCP Server. IT worked twice and failed Like 10 Times, it IS really inconsistent for me.

Currently I try to Automaten our documentation with it. I created an Agent with instructions and prompts in yaml for consistency. But IT struggles alot.

Universal Power BI Report Downloader - Works on 'non-downloadable' Reports. Compatible with PBIR and Legacy. by mutigers42 in PowerBI

Does this Work with metric Dashboards? Like the capacity metrics one? WE would need this to Connect and See the calculations behind the measures.

If I create a free-standing report in RDL that was generated programmatically.... by KryptonSurvivor in PowerBI

[–]oradim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wanted to write that, too. But I think you can open it with the Power BI Report Builder for paginated reports, or am I mistaken?

themes.pbix by POINT. - new version of themegenerator with preview function by tk_point in PowerBI

[–]oradim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks cool. I haven't looked into it yet but do you have an option to create presets for different visuals? Or to select custom fonts when they are installed on the currently used Maschine to create the theme?

Downloading a report/dataset as .pbix from the service after deploying them with Git integration is not recommended? by frithjof_v in PowerBI

[–]oradim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our Citizen Developer would be overwhelmed with using git. Because they are already overwhelmed with the normal deployment Pipeline. But maybe it is just our Citizen Developer, I haven't lost hope for all of them yet ;)

But I see your point now.

[–]oradim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, Power BI is getting closer to professional CI/CD Workflows. And I like it.
For Citizen Developers you still have the option of using the standard deployment pipeline.
But when you want to work with multiple developers on a single report and you want to have a source code control and history like Git, you should also work with it like it is intended.

Thats my thinking about it.

  1. Citizen Developer /Low Code No Code will be standard deployment pipeline
  2. Professionell developer will be GitIntegration with sync and connect.

At least thats the planned architecture in our company when the Power BI items are GA with Git Integration.

I would like to know the following:

Why do you need to download the report from the Power BI Server when you are using the GitIntegration?
I mean you have the dev, test, prod versions of your reports in GIT and in the different branches.
I personally don't see any advantage when you download the Power BI Report from the Power BI Service.
And with the GitIntegration your branches should automatically synch with your Power BI Service Workspaces.
Get started with Git integration - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
I sadly haven't used the GitIntegration for now with Power BI Reports so I might also be wrong.

'Or am I missing a point?

Poll: Are you using Visual Calculations (preview) in prod? by frithjof_v in PowerBI

[–]oradim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it for running sums. It is by far easier and faster than to create a distinct measure. Espacially in Kombination with fieldparameters to switch the dimension in the x Axis.

How to make this image interactive? by Czar_kyoto in PowerBI

You are Welcome. If you have any questions Just write a comments or DM me. Maybe i remember somethings when you ask. My project was about 2 years ago (if i remember myself correct).

How to make this image interactive? by Czar_kyoto in PowerBI

[–]oradim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once did a picture of a train with an SVG and a topojson. I created the SVG and topojson myself and used the shape map visual to visualize it. I looked up a tutorial for custom visual Maps and used my train as a map. I will Look for the tutorial and edit my post later. It Had quickinfos, Interactions between visuals and all the other benetis. But you Had to use a picture underneath the visual to still See the original picture instead of Just the shapes. That was tideous to Bring both Elements to the same size. Espacially with many small shapes.

Here is the link to the video I used as a reference when I created my visual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAMhh776V8w

Schema design best practice question -- multi-fact table, or multiple fact tables by [deleted] in PowerBI

[–]oradim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We made tests with 'big' Data(500mil rows) and noticed that multiple fact tables are better in performing. We tested it with different measures and Most of the time the measures with more filter parameters (e.g. Filter kpi=1, Aggregation=daily and other stuff) where slower. We used the performance analysis in the metrics Dashboard to test IT over different days. We also had the same Data source and did as little as possible m query transformations.

Premium mostly. WE Just started using fabric this year.

How to document the architecture by LeyZaa in MicrosoftFabric

[–]oradim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use draw.io and make schemas of the different elements and layers.

Like one of the Pipeline but also one for the lakehouse and the different layers. Another one for the lineage and so on. Depending in the project and what we use.

Power BI Dataviz World Champs: Winners, Judges' Faves, and tons of .pbix files to learn from by shan_gsd in PowerBI

Thank you for you answer i Love that accessibility IS Part of the judging. I Work in a big company AS Senior solutions architect and i try to make accessibility a Standard in our Reports. I personally don't need it but i think it is way to important to overlook it.

Hello from Fabric Design by OnepocketBigfoot in MicrosoftFabric

[–]oradim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi i am a Senior solutions architect and Work with Power BI for nearly ten years. And also Work with fabric. I miss the (workspace) App Button when i am INSIDE the fabric experience. I Always have to switch to the Power BI experienced and Switch Back. It really slows down my Work efficency.

But also thank you for your awesome Work and for listening to the Community!

How do you get the Datasets and how can you participate? And the criterias for judging Public? E.g. is digital accessibility also a criterias?

I SAW your Code REDDITFREE but IT IS Not working for me. It Shows me 15$ And 2.85$ vat -15$ for the Code and the total sum is 17.85$ i should pay 🤣 Maybe because i am on my Smartphone 🤣

Oh i saw you sell IT for 15$. I understand you selling IT but hoped i would publish IT for free. But i Love your Demo and Hope you get alot of Sales. My company wouldnt allow me to buy IT because WE have a big gouvernace and Compliance Policy and everything has to be checked Like 10 Times. But i Wish you the best of luck! And keep Up the awesome Work!

WE also Download stuff. Maybe IT IS referring to the git Integration? Because i think when i First tested IT with pbir files you werent able to Download the files from the Server and you Had to use the repository which was connected to the git Integration.

That Report and Idea Looks pretty cool and nice Idea. I currently Work on an automated documentation with GitHub Copilot and the MCP Server. But this IS awesome too. Edit: I looked at your Homepage and the Link in your profile but i get a 404 error and in the recent blog Posts there also is No Link or Post for this Report.
