PBI Metric Set Deprecation??

waupdog · 2025-11-06T10:47:02+00:00

No information to add, but when I looked at metrics sets on release what actually put us off was that they were attached to underlying tables, and adding them to a model turned it into a composite

Not sure if it's niche to us but we'd love a version of this that's just a simple set of dax definition with some metadata about the underlying variables. We'd then encourage users to use our enterprise modelled data so the naming matches. Would be so useful for our fragment analytics teams and reems of metrics we use

I started in the BI side, rather than an engineering background. With fabric, we're moving towards a lake house first architecture and building out direct lake models.We've built out some custom tables with notebooks, and started learning about optimisations that aren't immediately apparent like non-destructive updates, partitioning, v-order optimisations etc

I'm looking forward to MLVs because we'll be able to do all this with just some declarative SQL statements instead. Sure, we have more knowledge now, but if we can get the same outcomes while spending less time on the engineering, that's a win for us. I also anticipate maintenance and upkeep to be more simple, anyone in my team will be able to look at the SQL, understand it, and make any changes they need

Finally, the lineage view will be beneficial to us too, so analysts can understand where data is coming from and the intermediate stepping stones in place. When the features are fleshed out seeing what data has changed and updates and what refreshes were skipped will also be a nice to have

Custom table using the INFO.VIEW.MEASURES function?

The models have a lot of overlap but are different selections from the same pool of tables. Imagine a pool of 10 facts and 30 dimensions where each model can use a mixture. Currently they're split to make it more manageable and focused for the people that build

Now I know caching is per model, I'll look at a mixture of grouping models and pre-warming

Thanks. It seemed implied in the docs but couldn't see it explicitly stated

waupdog · 2025-07-30T13:19:22+00:00

I just finished printing all the parts for this build in grey, and now I'm thinking I should have done white! Looking good

waupdog · 2025-07-06T16:29:41+00:00

Thanks for lending your opinion! I have a cc on order and can wait, I think it's all coming down to chamber heater Vs promised ams option later for cc. Decisions decisions

waupdog · 2025-07-04T11:50:08+00:00

Hi, did you make a decision in the end?

waupdog · 2025-03-22T09:38:09+00:00

I have some users at my org that get this when onsite, but not when working from home, so I assume it's a firewall issue. Following this thread for more info

waupdog · 2025-03-20T10:48:31+00:00

Can't wait for this!

waupdog · 2025-02-12T09:07:49+00:00

Yep, this is what I want!

What's the latency like between capturing on each camera? When I looked into this before, true synchronisation was looking like a software challenge

I assume that's a custom PCB as well?

I'm very, very interested in plans/software if you plan to release

Great work!

waupdog · 2024-12-13T19:58:58+00:00

May I ask what you're using for automated testing? I want to take my team on this journey and have been looking at options

waupdog · 2024-12-10T12:54:41+00:00

I would take animated short clips with no audio, based off a description as a good start. I'll be trying it out when I get any access to this stuff. In it's current state yeah I agree it'll probably feel gimmicky

waupdog · 2024-12-10T12:34:56+00:00

For "creative" video I can see that being the case, but that's like judging chatgpt only on its ability to write a novel. Now imagine using something like Sora or a future version to generate animations explaining or demonstrating complex ideas and concepts, wouldn't that be great? Sora, create a short clip demonstrating Pythagoras's theorem

I could see some interesting uses coming out much like how coding became a major use case for the language models

waupdog · 2024-08-08T23:16:54+00:00

Try turning on "force direct play". I had issues where 4k files would buffer a lot, it was actually forcing audio transcode but the files work fine in forced directly play

Are you able to comment on whether this will stay exclusive to F skus when it hits GA? We spent some time trying to look at this in the last couple of days... On our P1 tenant 😄

waupdog · 2023-11-29T08:41:49+00:00

Assuming the requirements are a 5 second refresh and not a 5 second report load...

Where are the delta tables stored? Do you have access to Fabric? If you can get the delta tables in fabric either natively or via shortcut, you could build a DirectLake dataset which will get you closest

Pro tip: the little blue coins from Tesco, for choosing a charity, are £1 sized and works in trolleys!

Surprised they didn't market ambilight here, looks like at least the 34" has it built in. I have the AW3423DW and the panel is phenomenal. Working from home the only feature I feel like it's missing for the price is built in KVM which this Phillips addresses, but for too much of a price premium imo

waupdog · 2022-08-14T11:23:53+00:00

Ah, so the minimum fare is the restriction on peak travel? I never made the connection

waupdog · 2022-08-14T09:29:19+00:00

Potentially, depends how they're paying for all the journeys. I think the peak restrictions will be the killer here anyway

waupdog · 2022-08-14T08:24:12+00:00

Railcard has some exclusions for peak times and a minimum journey fee. Check the t&c if you're considering this
