Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

"As a #PowerBI developer, I want to know whether by this time next year I will have the ability to reference hex codes stored in Measures in the CF dialog, so I don't have to cut and paste hex codes stored in a text box into my CF dialog while cursing about the complete lack of dev-centered design".

I get so confused with dates sometimes with Americans typically using mm/dd/yyyy and EVERYONE ELSE using dd/mm/yyyy
So, today is November 11
Not sure if I should use 11/11/2025 or 11/11/2025

Okay #PowerBI #DAX people is this bidirectional filter between Leave and Employee "bad"?
I've built an annual leave heatmap, and I want to be able to click on one of the dates and see *who* the people are who have taken leave on that date. And likewise click a person to see their booked leave

I think we can all agree that there have been so many options for so many years.
Obviously the place to start would be “yesterday”. And presumably there is stuff in play.

Note to self: If you stupidly search for the "*" character in DAX , you are ALWAYS going to find it at position 1, regardless of whether it is there or not.
