Skeletor from Master of the Universe is performing a PAT test on a toaster

A YouTube thumbnail for a video called "Dumb Ways to Pie". Johnny is looking at a pie chart and pulling a face of disgust.

NEW VIDEO: Here's a new one and it's all about one of the most controversial subjects in all of data... PIE CHARTS! Are they really so bad? What's wrong with them? Can you ever justify using them? Watch the video to find out!

I mean, you know I love a paginated report, but whoever claimed "pixel perfect" needs a good talking to

Skeletor has been to Greggs. In one hand he's holding a sausage roll and in the other is a sausage sandwich in a bun

Ok, on LinkedIn the other day I promised a rant that blew up into a whole article... here it is.

Covering the hot topic of the day: What is a sausage roll?

Quidditch makes NO sense

Relationships over Requirements Data and Analytics nerdery of the highest order

Right... Still getting the hang of this blue sky lark. Still seems to spend more time on LinkedIn to be honest, but in case anyone is interested, I did a new blog

Why did they call them Consumption Units? Fabric Units would have been a better name, right? 😜😈

It's #pbiMCR time! First up, the superb @suebayes.bsky.social showing how to leverage python in Fabric 🐍 #pbi #powerbi #microsoftfabric #usergroup #meetup #community #manchester

Right... What have I missed?

if you know @greyskullpbi.bsky.social you know he did a nice little function to call dataflows by name. Today I did two little counterparts to do the same thing with Lakehouse tables and Warehouse Tables.

I love BS'ing with you!

Is this thing on?

But also...

To Measure Table or NOT to Measure Table? Should you be using a measure table in Power BI? In fact, what even is a measure table and why do they exist?

Annoyingly I can't find that meme....that was like a billion social media years ago! I am a measure table supporter though greyskullanalytics.com/to-measure-t...

Me doing a thing! I think this was my first public speaking gig after a 6 month hiatus for "reasons". Cheers to the @dataweekender.bsky.social folks for the opportunity

Nope! 🤣

I keep harping on at work with both clients and colleagues about the importance of collaboration when doing an analytics implementation and making sure you get your stakeholders and end users involved in the design process early. This image reminded me of this. That is all.
