203: 'It Depends' - Best Practices & Optimization for Models
6 april 2023 · 1 uur 2 min
We live in a world of Best Practices and learning best practices for Power BI. It is ingrained in us and from documentation to learning. Lees meer

When are those situations, and how do we navigate and ensure we are still applying the best approach?
This came from another amazing article from Kurt Buhler. https://data-goblins.com/power-bi/it-depends

2 februari 2023 · 58 min
Mike, Seth, & Tommy dive back into the Mythical Man-Month series and tackle the idea of the Second System Effect and how it relates to Power BI development. Lees meer
The Second System Effect is the tendency for a developer to "err on the side of over embellishment when planning their second project". This usually occurs when small, elegant, and successful systems can become over-developed and bloated due to inflated expectations and overconfidence.
How does this relate to our development and report lifecycle?

183: Should We Have More Icons & Buttons In Our Reports?
26 januari 2023 · 1 uur 2 min
Mike, Seth, & Tommy look at their practices to see if there is a larger need in our reports for more user interaction on the canvas itself. Lees meer
We struggle with finding space for visuals, text, and data. Buttons can get in the way, and we usually hide them in the top corners.
However, from adoption and an easier experience for users, should interactive objects take more precedent in our layouts? What is sacrificed (how significant) and what could this lead us to building differently?
Look at the following on the Gallery of an example: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Data-Stories-Gallery/Accessible-Data-Storytelling-World-Bank-Heath-and-Wealth-Report/td-p/2927555

10 januari 2023 · 1 uur 3 min
Mike, Seth, & Tommy talk through a conversation from Tim Warner, a Content Developer at Microsoft. Lees meer
The crux of the argument revolves around the amount of Assumed Knowledge that is needed to start with Power BI (data modeling, knowledge, etc) before even jumping in.
We have been working in Power BI for a LONG time, so it is difficult to remember the early days, but how many new developers are dealing with these same issues now?

177: Where do the DAX Window Functions Fit Into Our Existing Processes?
5 januari 2023 · 44 min
If you missed the December 2022 Power BI update, you missed a potentially altering way we think about DAX measures! Lees meer
Three new functions were released that focus solely on the window, not the model (called Window functions), such as comparing the data next to the currently evaluated item in the visual, not from a evaluation context.
Regardless, should we start becoming experts in Window functions and update all our existing reports? How important are they, and how much should you focus on them now and in the future?
