@erindataviz.bsky.social absolutely nailed the smart brevity #dataviz thing with this unconventional bar chart. Sometimes, rules are meant to be broken.
Visual journalist @erindataviz.bsky.social shows just how much a $400m Qatari jet stacks up against other gifts received by modern presidents.

Have a dataset, where the client do some small change in PBI service.
But today he cannot set the data model to edit model. No problem viewing it.
When I open it try to convert it to a "large model", but it fails (just Power BI Pro)
Any idea why?

Sometimes you encounter unexpected things in Power BI. I was building a report based on a data model created by x company. I assumed the fact table (GL ledger) had one row per posting, so sum Amt. But the model included additional grouping om the gact, which meant data was duplicated per groupid!!

Planning is everything, but you cannot do anything when sickness in the picture l.
Plan to use a lot of time on my PowerBi entry for the world championship. But ended up with doing it on my flight to Helsinki today. So basically the report has been created in 3 different countries.

There are two quotes from the song Rocstar by Malk de Koijn
That makes you think!
The translations to English are:
“And it just so happens to be a hobby with a built-in job in it.”
“Not everything that glitters is gold, and not everything that is crap is… brown.”
