Thank you! We might need to start a support group πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ

How many times have you run this pipeline today? "Yes"

replace "dimension" with "dimension/fact"

I'd probably try a calculation group, and store all the date values in the dimension. You can hide them from the end users but will need it for the calculations.

I wish...at least then we would have had a valid excuse.

I know I'm knit-picking here, but is it too much to ask to have clear messaging?

Yes, it's very annoying! And there's no way of seeing what's changed.

Should we say "in the Clippy sense of the word" :-)

Glad I'm not the only one. I really want to like that feature, but the inconsistent behavior scares me.

Not quite my choice of words, but ok 🫣

You might just break the bursting/smoothing algorithm for all of us 😏

Does anybody else find the DevOps/Git integration with Power BI workspaces somewhat buggy?

YES!

That's a good idea.

I'll start:

1. When you copy a visual in Power Bi, and it changes the size by 1 pixel :-/

If there wasn't enough proof that we're living in the twilight zone, Varigence just announced a Biml update for SSIS 2022. After 6 years of absolute silence...can't make this stuff up.

I use it at times, when customers want to take shortcuts instead of doing due diligence...that's the only times I use it though, and think there needs to be some level of trust between the two parties first before that phrase will have any effect.
