Professional data wrangler, occasionally get it in a state to analyse/present it. Less geeky tweeting @tychoanomaly. Views are my own.

Microsoft trying to imply that this means PowerBI when it doesn't. The Gartner rating is based on Microsoft's entire ecosystem. Don't get the 'free' PowerBI and think you'll do anything useful with it https://t.co/zLOKylEOgb via @MSPowerBI

With
@Twitter blocking 3rd party apps like @fenix_app it looks like it's now useless to me. I'll be trying to get my head round mastodon instead https://t.co/jea0yOXh4J

@jinkonet @bothness @ONS Oof, didn't realise they had left out the health data. That's frustrating.

[Adrian Lee @mapsnstats]

@bothness @ONS The fact that spreadsheet includes data for upper-tier authorities makes it such a shame they aren't included in the tool. At least we can use the spreadsheet to build something ourselves though

[Adrian Lee @mapsnstats]

@bothness This is a great start. I left some feedback via the survey earlier about controlling the width of the layout. Have played with it more now and see the embed does flex to window size and image export does exactly what is on screen rather than the 3col default I saw

Been having a go with R and @quarto_pub for some #Census2021 analysis. I want to really like it but finding some of it very frustrating, mainly around sizing charts and the images it outputs. https://t.co/8kNhrvwEGk

@ucezema Power BI visual, on the whole, look terrible and are difficult to tweak as you want. Unless you're going to get into amazing contributions like Deneb, but then you're committing to learning Vega/vega-lite coding.

[Adrian Lee @mapsnstats]

Not sure a history of post codes is a particular good use of my time.... #gcpublicsector22

[Adrian Lee @mapsnstats]

@ONSgeography Thanks

[Adrian Lee @mapsnstats]

@ONSgeography I'm not sure these boundaries are correct. The 'Ward' boundaries for Somerset appear to be the Electoral Division boundaries that will become Ward boundaries in April 2023 when we go unitary. Unless that's intended?

@Yakus @NicolasTurner @tomchadwin @plymouthcc @RNLI Even the OS Locate app says it works with no signal, but no, number are bad apparently! People can't think in numbers!

[Adrian Lee @mapsnstats]

@tomchadwin Not gonna lie, part of the reason I follow some of this stuff is to laugh at the people who think space is fake and NASA are liars :D Great to see the interest in this stuff now though!

[Adrian Lee @mapsnstats]

@tomchadwin Yeah have seen that, not really a surprise I guess when you think of how old Hubble is now!

[Adrian Lee @mapsnstats]

@tomchadwin So clear in that shot isn't it, amazing stuff

@astuntech Top(ology) Gun

[Adrian Lee @mapsnstats]

This afternoon I have discovered @vega_vis and #deneb in particular and I think I'm a little bit in love. I might just ignore every other visual in #PowerBI from now on.

[Adrian Lee @mapsnstats]

Trying to build some R Visuals in Power BI. So far all I've managed to do is break my RStudio install trying to work out how to use the old version R that #PowerBI uses and install packages...

[Adrian Lee @mapsnstats]

@shevski I use tweetdeck on my computer and Fenix on my phone to avoid all that. I wouldn't use twitter at all if it meant using the official website/app
