‪Power BI guy from the cool north (JDC)

Today contra yesterday.

I just need to know if Power BI and Fabric run on firewood and homebrew.

So far, no luck — seems they still rely on cloud, power, and just the right amount of existential dread.
Would’ve been nice if Microsoft offered a “cabin-in-the-woods” edition powered by moonshine and sheer willpower.

First it was X that got flooded, now it’s LinkedIn. And you can’t open a news site without being hit by a fresh disaster every five seconds.
Honestly, I’m starting to think the smartest move is to buy a cabin in the woods — somewhere with no internet, no updates, and no trace of humanity.

Fact: There are more icehockey referees in Vancouver than icehockey players in Denmark 🇩🇰🇨🇦 #icehockey

Wauh
Unbelievably they won against Canada. #Denmark #Icehockey

Not everything have to be in a nice grid

@erindataviz.bsky.social absolutely nailed the smart brevity #dataviz thing with this unconventional bar chart. Sometimes, rules are meant to be broken.

Nice

Any plan on having a conference in Europa at some point?

Have a dataset, where the client do some small change in PBI service.

But today he cannot set the data model to edit model. No problem viewing it.

When I open it try to convert it to a "large model", but it fails (just Power BI Pro)

Any idea why?

Starting Saturday with a nice cup of coffee at my local favorit cafe Moss.

Sometimes you encounter unexpected things in Power BI. I was building a report based on a data model created by x company. I assumed the fact table (GL ledger) had one row per posting, so sum Amt. But the model included additional grouping om the gact, which meant data was duplicated per groupid!!

Chat -> Chart

That is new ?? #PowerBI
Changning from a Matrix to Chat !!

The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

@jaypowerbi.bsky.social any evil plan to use visual calculation to add a new row to table. ??
Like a subtotal in a P&L and a Margin

At least it is to hard to change the column heading or adding fancy vbs code.
I dig it l, just need to retune my OCR to read stone and not paper

Time to go home.
Thanks to Helsinki and Finland for a nice time

Sitting in Helsinki and enjoying a cup of Canadian coffee.

Going to eat some local, with the bear

Planning is everything, but you cannot do anything when sickness in the picture l.
Plan to use a lot of time on my PowerBi entry for the world championship. But ended up with doing it on my flight to Helsinki today. So basically the report has been created in 3 different countries.

Sometimes to have to look at the backside of things to discover wear and tear. Damn did not know my laptop had so many dents.
#makingPowerBI in the air.

There are two quotes from the song Rocstar by Malk de Koijn

That makes you think!

The translations to English are:

“And it just so happens to be a hobby with a built-in job in it.”

“Not everything that glitters is gold, and not everything that is crap is… brown.”

Really nice post!
Thanks
I agree that every visual has its time and place when used correctly. In storytelling, I’ve always appreciated its elements, but rather than telling the full story, I now prefer to present part of it and let the user complete it themselves with their own insights.

I was casually browsing community.fabric.microsoft.com and checked my notifications—only to find out that I somehow earned my 1-year, 2-year, AND 3-year badges all on the same day?!

Either I’ve discovered time travel… or the system just had a really long nap before catching up.

Yes have one that show the list on leaning material from channel description !Learn

Nice over 150k now. We need a bot to auto response to “where to learn Power BI” and “I have passed PI300”

This chart got me wondering

Should y axis start at 0
And a on increase of 12, is that the best way to said it, or should it be like a ~30% increase.

But I guess it is up to the audience?!

And it’s great that visual are winning the battle against spreadsheets 😜

Sometimes it’s difficult to calculate.

But….😜

One of those days where coffee is needed to get going.
