Are you using legends in your #PowerBI charts? @data-dragoness.bsky.social proves legends are more than colorful labels—they’re your chart’s GPS. Watch her turn clutter into eye-popping clarity and make every data point shout its name.

Faucet first.

If you didn’t know, I’m a huge fan of @data-dragoness.bsky.social and also the president of her fan club.

If you’re looking to FAFO with #MicrosoftFabric add this podcast to your list. A lot of great analogies and discussions about shaving yaks.
