Who likes IntelliSense? I do.
Who likes Dataflows (cough - gen 1 only)? I do.

Well, we can have both, finally.

I've been doing some practice assessments this morning for certifications.
Some of the questions in the DP-700 seemed vague.
I thought I'd take a look at some of the other ones for comparison.
Some assessments have definitely had more effort put into their development than others.

I'm glad so much money is being invested into #Copilot. It's amazing!

Who's in charge of the #PowerBI renaming department at Microsoft?
You missed a couple. 😜

This is new (when opening a #PowerBI file). What's with the B?

I've never liked the [bronze, silver, gold] medallion architecture naming.
I think [raw, refined, trusted] is better. (Sorts alphabetically too.)

What other options do you like?

Hey @alper.datav.is - do you know if there are any issues with custom themes in the latest #PowerBI Desktop release?
I get errors when trying to import, so, as a test, I saved the theme from an existing report and tried to re-import and I got the same errors.

Hey @myersmiguel.bsky.social - is conditional formatting on the new card visual broken/buggy when using small multiples?

Hey @myersmiguel.bsky.social, do you know when custom fonts added via a theme file stopped showing in the drop-down boxes in #PowerBI Desktop?
Are there plans to improve this aspect?

It might be the best time-savings that #TMDLView provides in #PowerBI. 😁
As easy as 1-2-3.

Does anyone know if there's a #PowerBI Desktop release in December?
I need some new preview features to get me in the holiday spirit.

I'm sure it used to be possible in #PowerBI to have different naming in the selection pane for a visual from the title of the visual.
Am I going crazy?

Is there a definitive list of sources anywhere that support query folding in #PowerBI? I've found some but not sure if it's "complete".
Oh wait, @itsnotaboutthecell.com will know.

So many of these errors in #PowerBI lately when connecting to Dataflow Gen1. It's frustrating and unproductive.

#MicrosoftFabric workarounds r us. (and no, I don't think this is a suitable workaround)
I'm curious, are people using Lakehouse SQL endpoints in pipelines when building a medallion architecture? How are you dealing with potential sync issues? How are you validating the results?

No #MicrosoftFabric I don't want to do this and why would you ask me on a Workspace that has a #PowerBI Pro license setup? Many of our customers don't want Fabric; it's not cost-effective for them.
Offer PPU licenses something if you're not going to finish the work you started with Datamarts.

This is brilliant from the #PowerBI Core Visuals team. We need this for all areas of PowerBI/Fabric. Share it around.
