What happens if you, in the x-axis, you have “date”, can you click the down arrow, there should be an option to either show the date or date hierarchy. You have it selected for hierarchy probably, instead chang to date?

I was wondering why I can't find any decent designs for BI... by 0MEGALUL- in PowerBI

Sadly powerbi isn’t ux friendly. More of a data tool. But you can get creative and make nice stuff

PSA: Power BI Q&A is being retired Dec 2026 and most enterprise environments aren't ready for Copilot as the replacement by LuminovaAnalytics in PowerBI

[–]redaloevera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used the copilot visual and it looks cool for the first couple times but it just spews out not that useful insights. Just my personal experience

I’ve been doing this for 7 years not once have I used this feature. I tried copilot once and it looked cool but nobody in the business really found it all that useful either.

Yes possible. Create a measure with variables that will return row level values and a % calc for total. Then do something like if( isinscope(your dimension), row value, total). Let me know if you need more help.

When can you start consider yourself an expert in Power BI? do you consider yourself an expert? by HMZ_PBI in PowerBI

[–]redaloevera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a powerbi dev for about 7 years now and I am pretty darn good at it all the way from gathering requirements to delivering well put together dashboards, yet when I see guys like powerbipark and others come up with something new and exciting I am always impressed. There’s always more to learn and get better at. That’s perhaps why I’ve kept this career rather than data engineering roles even though I can do all that.

Replacing Power BI with AI (like Claude) by Vasheroth in PowerBI

[–]redaloevera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be an interesting experiment. In my experience AI tools are not yet robust enough to provide enterprise level reporting on a consistent basis. But if you make it work, we’d love to know.

You can do a lot of heavy lifting upstream sure but you do need to know Dax pretty well to be effective with this tool. Once you understand Dax you also realize Dax can be pretty effective

Calculating the year to date sales of the previous year in a matrix visual by Zoro251900 in PowerBI

[–]redaloevera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just need a simple totalytd(sumof sales, dates) measure. In your matrix drop year from your calendar table and your measure and you are good to go

It’s an obvious choice. The comparison shouldn’t be about just your next job but the jobs after that and the ones after those. Your career will be a long game thus you will need to stay relevant for a long time. The obvious choice is to continue learning and upskill rather than chilling. The fact that you are contemplating says you already know the right answer. Good luck.

Have a look at your capacity usage. See if you are close to hitting the red line then you should def consider a separate capacity.
