I like talking about data visualisation and actionable insights in Power BI, and pushing for better vis & UI/UX.
That giant* is messing with my baseline.
Double scoop.
This but SQLBI video.

I need to unpack it (and this thread) more when I’m more fully awake.
You do you, Whanganui-a-Tara / Wellington.

04.08.2025 21:45 — 👍 8 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0My boss last week replied to my proposal to replace an excel file used for data collection with a structured set of forms in PowerApps. His reply, pretty plainly written by ChatGPT suggested we use PowerBI…to COLLECT data.

Dude is 100% responsible for my career in dataviz. Here’s a pic from last time I saw him in 2007.

Bought something at an online auction and the seller is like some next-level reverse-psychology ninja guru.

Okay #InternetNZ peeps...you told me how to vote for every other thing...so what do i choose here?
31.07.2025 09:03 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I wonder what the wording of the survey was for these questions.
I've been working on Gender and Ethnicity datavis for HR data.
I always find it interesting that "New Zealander" doesn't get coded to European, but "Australian" does. Seems inconsonant. I should read the Stats NZ thinking on this.
A bit of datavis wouldn't hurt, #InternetNZ

31.07.2025 07:05 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0In this example when I ask a Chat-GPT or Claude research tool to find information about Copilot adoption challenges, it quotes my own content multiple times in ambiguous and often completely erroneous ways.
It makes up or misrepresents facts, and then misattributes them to me. Infuriating.
