There's a fine line between laziness and efficiency.

I like DAX. I love M.

I wrote my first cryptic crossword, and a little site to play it on.

Quite Cryptic

@SQLAllFather Sat next to one of my (young, brilliant, upcoming) team members this week, and overheard them promoting Roche's Maxim to a junior.

Afterwards, they commented to me - "I think I'm turning into you!" 🤣

Anyone moved reasonably extensive PowerBI deployment between tenants? Any tips?

So, not everyone realises you can have multiple datasets per workspace / app, and multiple reports per dataset... This took me by surprise, I thought it was pretty common knowledge. Makes me wonder what else I'm assuming everyone knows about #PowerBI

There were three men came out of the West
Three kings both great and high
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon must die.

They took a tank and ran him down
With bullets in his head
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon was dead

But when the Spring came kindly on
And showers began to fall
John Mastodon got up again
And did surprise them all...

Oh this is too good. Since Twitter is now blocking Mastodon links, someone has created a link shortener to hide them. Gotta love the URL:

Space Karen Sucks

Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinations. Considering recent policy decisions on twitter, please be aware that use of links generated from this site may constitute a violation of their policy.

When, please gods tell me when, will people (who should know better) stop telling me "it's not working" as a fault description?!

FFS. Inputs, expected result, actual result, error messages, repeatable, impact. Please.

Looking at BI conferences in 2023, for my senior team - to build networks, stretch thinking, keep things fresh and motivating. Which would you recommend, and why? #BusinessIntelligence #PowerBI
Power Query - Dynamic Data Source and Web.Contents() - Hat Full of Data

When you use a parameter as the url in a web query, the data source is a Dynamic Data Source and will not refresh in the Power BI service.
