Explicit Measures Podcast

Explicit Measures Podcast

By PowerBI.Tips

Hosted by Mike Carlo, and Tommy Puglia, the Explicit Measures Podcast is a Power BI focused show that is like being around a Power BI Pro’s Water Cooler. With so many available resources in the community that focuses on the “how” in Power BI (how to do Drill Through, how to use DAX, etc.,), the Explicit Measures Podcast is all around the WHY. Why use a particular feature, does it make sense for my users?
Build the toolset, learn the how, and then come to the Podcast to the listen to the why in situations we all experience as Power BI Pros.

You guys have been on point with sending us mailbag topics / questions! Keep it up! Mike & Tommy unpack a great mailbag on the state of the industry looking for, requesting, and creating Microsoft Fabric Job Roles: "I’ve noticed that there are only a handful of job listings requiring Microsoft Fabric on platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed. Given that it was introduced just over a year ago, this is somewhat expected. However, I’m curious to understand more about this trend. Why do you think there are so few job listings mentioning Microsoft Fabric? Is it due to the early stage of its adoption, or are there other factors at play? How long do you think it will take for Microsoft Fabric to become a common requirement in data engineering roles? Looking forward to all of your insights and predictions on future of Microsoft Fabric! Appreciate it! Thanks!"

387: Power BI Core Visuals Revisited

387: Power BI Core Visuals Revisited

Mike & Tommy hear back from the Core Visuals team on their previous conversation, and go over all the major changes and what to expect. -- We launched a vision board detailing our work. This board also highlights sections of the MSFT Learn site where we are documenting everything in unprecedented detail. This process took months of discussions with the MSFT Learn team, which is why it has taken so long. As mentioned, the MSFT Learn documentation will be fully redesigned for core visuals articles. The new documentation will have three sections for each feature or visual: How to Create, All Format Settings, and Considerations and Limitations. See the new card visual article as an example. New documentation for the Button Slicer, Matrix and Table, Bar Charts, and the recently added Small Multiples for the new card visual is coming soon. I have shared examples and tutorials of the work people can do with the new features (post 1, post 2, last post). We recognize the challenge of not having better defaults and the time it takes to make things look nice. Plans are in place to address this, but we first need to establish the foundation of the options before organizing them. You mentioned it would be nice to ask Copilot to make things look good, but without the necessary controls, even Copilot won’t be able to help. --- Get in touch: Send in your questions or topics you want us to discuss by tweeting to @PowerBITips with the hashtag #empMailbag or submit on the PowerBI.tips Podcast Page.

380: MAILBAG! Enhancing Power BI Reports - Non-User Commmentary

380: MAILBAG! Enhancing Power BI Reports - Non-User Commmentary

Mike, Seth, and Tommy dive through a great mailbag on getting feedback in a scalable way: I have built a monthly "snapshot" report that is delivered to more than a dozen different business units across my firm. These are the subject of one-on-one meetings between the leads of those units and their manager. However, each business unit also has a marketing lead whose job is to help the business unit leads understand the metrics and share some context from the marketing world for why a certain KPI is low or high and what steps are being taken in the coming months to address them. So we have standard metrics delivered by Power BI that need to have narrative context added by marketing leaders before the snapshot report goes to its primary audience. I'm well aware of your hostility to PowerPoint, even with the Power BI add-in, but what are some other tools or approaches that allow non Power BI users to effectively mark up a report as a final phase before it is delivered? Surely this is a common problem! How can we add comments to reports outside of PowerPoint, Are there any other solutions that let non-Power BI users write down comments into a report?
