The Drill Down with Ahmad & James | The Data Dojo | LinkedIn

Don't miss our upcoming episode of The Drill Down with Ahmad and James, where we reflect on the journey of The Data Dojo: A Power BI Community of Practice. James's detailed blog series (DataVolume.xyz) recounts the practical takeaways from building a Power BI Community of Practice – from the early experiments in sharing tips and tricks to refining the group sessions based on what worked best. We'll talk about the lessons learned, the challenges tackled head-on, and how both the successes and the setbacks shaped the way The Data Dojo is run today. This candid conversation is for anyone curious about real-life data collaboration and the everyday efforts that lead to better utilization of Power BI within an organization.

Good morning, Microsoft Fabric and Power BI people!

Today is the 2nd anniversary of my very first blog post, and to commemorate this special occasion, I just posted a new article in the Data Dojo Power BI Community of Practice series:

This one is about a new Data Dojo format that we call "Office Hours & Coffee Lounge."

Yo, #MicrosoftFabric and #PowerBI people! It's been quite a while since my last #DataDojo #PowerBICommunityOfPractice blog post, and for a very good reason.

I've been hard at work preparing a new version of the Data Dojo Power BI Report Template without any proprietary logos, themes, data connections, etc., and I am happy to announce that it is finally ready!

Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, I hereby present to you the long-awaited Data Dojo Power BI Report Template! Check out the article, download the template, take it for a spin, and let me know what you think!

My #Hacktoberfest progress:
- One approved #PullRequest down
- Three approved #PullRequests to go

The third and fourth installments of my #DataDojo #PowerBI #CommunityOfPractice blog series (link in my bio) are almost ready, and I typically create a #PR for each post and #merge them separately, so those should rack up two more points before the end of the month.*

Now, where should I get my fourth point? Any cool #PowerShell, #PowerBI, or #Python projects out there needing a #bug squashed or a #feature added? Hit me up!

* Yes, approving one's own PR on one's own #repo does apparently count, as do blog posts and documentation. Each PR just has to pass the "not spammy" test, and it must contain a fair amount of new material and/or changes to existing material. A little vague perhaps, but that's just the impression I got from reading the rules the other day, and I'm very loosely paraphrasing, so YMMV, grain of salt, yadda yadda.
