@bob_duffy Preach, brother!

#PowerBI debate. We need an excel Power bi visual. The ability to insert an Excel table into a page. Then, to be able to insert any field into any of the cells. Basically, we need an Excel grid + OLAP formulas in a PowerBI visual.

We also need SSRS Tablix in PowerBI.

@MikeAinOz Excel is awesome when connected to PowerBI. And I had high hopes for excel online in PowerBI. But I think an excel (or at least an excel like grid) that you can free form edit in a power bi visual would solve loads of problems.

@T2Rugby I don't think people view it as a small minority sport. Not as big as GAA and soccer, but certainly 3rd after them. That is small. Sports like hockey, cricket, etc, those are small minority sports.

@UCC @SEFSUCC @CACSSS1 @CUBSucc @UCCMedHealth @Quercus_UCC What a campus. I also love a walk around my Alma Mater.

[Mark Hayes @MarkDataGuy]

@jpquinn78 @UCC Not a bother. I must call in on a quite day. Also, would love to see inside the Crawford observatory. Is that ever open?

[Mark Hayes @MarkDataGuy]

@jpquinn78 @UCC I was there myself only an hour ago. I checked the visitor centre to see if you were around to say hello. And yes, I walk thru the centre.

[Mark Hayes @MarkDataGuy]

@benrebooted Nope. Now, there is at least two of us! Thankfully, it is pronounced the same way.

@adrianweckler I have started using Co Pilot. (Paid subscription) and I have been been impressed with some of it outputs. It can be flaky, especially around email, which I find surprising as email is all just text right!

"F#ck that". Nice one @ELangfordMusic. Catchy tune, important message.

[Emma Langford @ELangfordMusic]

The music video, created by Phil Shanahan, features me alongside over 45 wonderful people – fans & friends from all over the world – lipsyncing to the track, adding their voices to a collective shout of “fuck that”.

@Ko_Ver SSAS Multidimensional had this in 2005.

#Copilot experiences. Today, I was amazed. Needed to do something in powershell. I don't know powershell. 1 hour later, I have a sophisticated script that does what I need. It would have taken me at least a day via search and would have been a half baked solution.

[Mark Hayes @MarkDataGuy]

@bob_duffy Just in time delivery!

[Mark Hayes @MarkDataGuy]

@bob_duffy When did that appear? I was only checking for dynamic content a few days ago?

[Mark Hayes @MarkDataGuy]

@gavreilly @kenfoxe They don't micromanage, but do any of them ever ask, "and how much will this cost? 350k for a bike shelter, seams expensive, can you confirm?"

Sort of like you would do if it was your own house. That isn't micromanagement. That is governance.

[Mark Hayes @MarkDataGuy]

@_JeDC_ I would recommend that any small of solo consultants get a Microsoft action pack as this gives you azure credits ($100 a month) which you can help when running a small fabric with a logic app turning on and off.

[Mark Hayes @MarkDataGuy]

@notaboutthecell @_JeDC_ I have done the same. In fact, I didn't bother with trial as, IMO, that gives a false sense of performance as it is an F64, which is beyond a lot of my clients. F4 starting and stopping with PBI in import mode is my default.

[Mark Hayes @MarkDataGuy]

@jpquinn78 Season 1 is very strong. 2 to 4 maybe drop a little, but would absolutely recommend..

[Mark Hayes @MarkDataGuy]

@HugoGordon1 My only good memory of this was watching it in a super sized American Cinema screen. First job out of college, work trip to the states, good times, bad movie.
