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

Well, we can have both, finally.

How long have these been out for?
I've only just realised, the only show up in the Fabric view, not when you select Power BI.

Interesting #MicrosoftFabric UI changes.
I think I likey.

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!

Asking Claude to analyse a ChatGPT response. 🤣

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?

Seems to be working...

Here's an example.

And I can see the issues highlighted. (image below)
Most of my themes are created using @powerbitips.bsky.social theme generator. Which up until, January updates I guess, produced valid files.
Now I need a quick way to fix the themes I've created.

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

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?

You can set up links in the app and define the behaviour but I'm guessing there's no control over that from a link in a button, it'll adhere to the browser settings.

Is this using cross-report drill-through or a link?
Cross-report should work in the same window, just like normal drill-through.

And while we're at it, WTF is this about?
I have to go into Power Query and 'Refresh All' to get the model to refresh correctly. Assuming I don't get another EndOfStream error.

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.

It's that time of the week, happy weekend. Time to relax with some homemade Korean fried chicken. 🥂
