If you were at @datasaturdaynl.bsky.social today and by accident took a gray Fabric coffee mug from the toilets next to room 9 during the 3PM break, I would really like to have that back tomorrow... πŸ’›

Power BI - Requirements to Use Analyze in Excel Blogging about Power BI, Power Platform and other things I find interesting.

Power BI and Excel still go hand in hand for many people (no, it's not a database!).

πŸ’‘But if you want to use Analyze in Excel with your Power BI datasets, there are a few boxes you need to tick first.

This post breaks it down:

Yes correct. With the new Org Apps, this is handled for you πŸ™‚

The advanced options are indeed "extra", so for viewing you don't need them.
For build permissions you need to check that box. You can also do it later via the permissions in the workspace, or update the app.

Get current path to -what- triggered the pipeline (Yaml) I've tried to echo / debug most of the variables here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/build/variables?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml but none of them shows -what- triggere...

Not a direct answer, but you can at least get the changed files via PoSh and thus figure out the path from there? stackoverflow.com/questions/71...
