This chart was in @australian newspaper today. 🙄. Seriously! In this case, the chart implies 2024 is half the 2021 number. A column chart encodes the value in the height of the column. Don’t be like The Australian; always set the axis to start at zero.

Final #PowerBI user group in Sydney, Australia.

Have you noticed that Microsoft recently announced the renaming of #PowerBI datasets and they're now called "semantic models"? Are you a bit confused by all of this, and/or want to learn more. I have written a short article explaining it all here https://t.co/VR9Z8DsAF7

@PaulBongiorno Garbage. I voted no because I despise racism.

[Matt Allington @ExceleratorBI]

@r1c1 @ehansalytics It’s valid syntax, but in my view it’s distracting, creates confusion and is not required for DAX to be a beautiful language.

[Matt Allington @ExceleratorBI]

@KratosBi @Datatouille My rule for calc columns is to use them when you want to leverage relationships and/or measures as part of the calculation. Eg, Adventure Works CC in Customer table

IsLargeCustomer = [total sales]>=4000

To do this elsewhere requires table joins and SUM logic to be duplicated.

[Matt Allington @ExceleratorBI]

@Datatouille Not controversial to me. It's pretty much exactly as I have in my blog article here, last updated nearly 8 years ago :-) https://t.co/WSG7CAs9i5

@Mirrortears You ordered it yourself?! 😳

[Phil Seamark @PhilSeamark]

Fantastic turnout despite thunder and lightning in Sydney tonight to hear about #MicrosoftFabric from @darrengosbell the user group.
