In this article, I explain several approaches to recover models and reports from a Power BI workspace when the Download this file (.pbix) option is greyed out. These methods involve use of either external tools or a Fabric notebook.
In this article, I explain several use-cases for semantic-link-labs with reports, which involves programmatic modifications to report metadata to streamline certain report management tasks. This article explains how to do this with standard reports; future articles will elaborate about using the methods available for PBIR.
In this article, I introduce semantic-link-labs, a library based upon semantic-link that you can use in Microsoft Fabric notebooks to help you build, use, manage, and audit not only semantic models, but also reports and other items or parts of Fabric.
In this article, I explain Copilot in Fabric and Copilot in Power BI, walking through what it is, how it works, and three common scenarios when it might be used. More importantly, I evaluate whether using it over other, non-AI approaches makes sense, and evaluate the current state.
Below are all the articles I have written in the past, organized by topic.
These articles are about data ETL in Power BI, for example Power Query in datasets, dataflows & data marts, as well as how to connect to and load special data sources.
These articles are about data modelling in Power BI, and external tools like Tabular Editor which make managing a Power BI data model more scalable and efficient.
These articles are about building good reports & dashboards in Power BI, or other Power BI data solutions, and their distribution within the organization.
These articles are about topics that relate to the governance & administration of Power BI, including how to manage self-service, monitoring, training, etc.
These articles are about the important topic of how to grow a Data Culture in your organization, and drive adoption of your Power BI solution. These topics are generally non-technical.
These articles are about other stuff. Anything I feel like writing about, from mental health to other tools to general industry topics. Generally, they still have relevance to Power BI professionals, indirectly.
