DAX Learning Power BI in Practice 16th March 2020
I thought this would be an easy blog. Not much to say about using Power BI's Conditional Formatting. All it does is make visuals look more appealing by using pretty colours based on the data's values. How wrong I was! In fact there's so much to say that I've had to resort to a mini contents page using outline numbering and links to the relevant paragraphs. In fact, just like the old days of writing user manuals! So here goes… Read More

Power BI in Practice Power BI Resources 18th February 2020
I've made a quick video to show how you can enable the new Ribbon Menu in Power BI Desktop. In the February 2020 version of Power BI Desktop this is still a "preview" feature, so you need to enable the preview to see it. However this new menu is expected to be on general release sometime in March this year, so it's probably a good thing to enable this menu now and get used to it before the March update… Read More

DAX Power BI in Practice 22nd January 2020
We've often been asked if it's possible to group the results of a DAX measure into numeric ranges. For example, to group a Total Sales measure for each Customer into various numeric ranges, sometimes referred to as "bins". The answer is, yes it is, as you can see from the screenshot below:- In this screenshot, we can see that we have five customers whose Total Sales fall between 150,000 and 199,999 in 2019. How did I do this? Firstly, my… Read More

DAX Microsoft Power BI in Practice 20th January 2020The Key Influencers visual, introduced in February 2019, is Microsoft's first visual that uses "Machine Learning" to identify factors that influence the outcome of a particular metric. "Wow", I thought! The idea of leaving Power BI to do all the hard work in analysing my data seemed too irresistible to ignore, so I gave way to temptation and decided to give it a go. On the one hand, it's a very simple visual to construct (it only has 3 buckets;… Read More

Power BI in Practice 19th December 2019
As I keep telling people and as I've said in previous blogs, I'm not a "Strictly" fan, I just happen to love the data and all the insights into it that Power BI can give you. So it had to be done; to update the report to include analysis for the latest series; Series 17. I've also taken the opportunity to completely re-vamp the original and many of the existing pages have been re-designed. I've added quite a few new… Read More

DAX Power BI in Practice 18th November 2019Recently I was asked by one of our clients to solve this question; how could they calculate the number of days between customers' transactions? Clearly, in order to do this calculation, you would need to find the transaction date that was previous to the transaction date sitting in the current row. You could then subtract the earlier date from the later date and return the days between them. It occurred to me, that such a calculation could have a more… Read More

Power BI in Practice Training 10th October 2019You know that moment when you're using Power BI Desktop and you start swearing under your breath? I have to admit I don't often do this but when I do, boy do some things annoy me! So just to get things off my chest and have a good old rant, I've listed my top 10 annoyances in Power BI Desktop and notice I haven't even mentioned the ridiculously small default font used by visuals.Read More→ Read More
