I like talking about data visualisation and actionable insights in Power BI, and pushing for better vis & UI/UX.

Perennial.
I think we can all agree that there have been so many options for so many years.

Obviously the place to start would be “yesterday”. And presumably there is stuff in play.

I sure hope that grumpy bastard Future Jeff both *knows where to find* and *appreciates* Current Jeff's documentation.

Note to self: If you stupidly search for the "*" character in DAX , you are ALWAYS going to find it at position 1, regardless of whether it is there or not.

If you don’t subscribe to the #PowerBI feed you don’t get bangers like this.
"Take a look at the most recent activity in Power BI" what the fuck are you talking about. Ooh there's a new graph that someone's ChappieT made. Shut the fuck up.

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, “What you all call the far left is just being normal.”

We need a #PowerBI T-shirt/bumper sticker competition.

What would yours be?

Today I learned that the easiest things to fuck up the calculation of in #PowerBI without possibly realising because of plausible results are Medians.
