Does anybody know anyone freelance with real Power BI to #Drupal integration experience? Boosts appreciated. 🙂 #powerbi

@insightsmachine.bsky.socialSep 22, 2026, 11:00 AM

On skills, many of the places I acquired some of mine from in the #PowerBI space now seem to speak another language.

Finally scrolling horizontally through wide tables is not that painful 🤩

TIL that not all "groups" are equal when it comes to managing *access* to #PowerBI reports (via the App Audience dialog) vs managing what *data* they see (via the Row-Level Security dialog).

You can use M365 groups for app access, but not for RLS (PBI says they are invalid, but not *why* this is).

We had an awesome time at last week's Vancouver #PowerBI and Modern #Excel meet-up! Joseph Yeates went over some of the newest updates to Power BI, and then Melissa De Korte presented a deep dive into #PowerQuery for solving more advanced text-splitting challenges.

Here's a must-know #PowerQuery technique to unpivot data easily in #Excel (and #PowerBI). 🙌 @excelguru.ca shows how to convert a human-friendly report layout into a clean tabular format that works beautifully for #PivotTables and #BusinessIntelligence: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKKZ...

Most Power BI developers only use the basics of slicer sync - here are 3 less known options /features 🙌🏻

1. Sync Different Slicer Types - you can sync a Dropdown slicer with a Tile/Button slicer.

Defining your specific process... for me that's the Power BI checklist. Avatar: data managers running teams of data pros. Dream outcome: Power BI delivered on time, every time. The checklist is my version of the process... everything I reckon you need to consider. #powerbi

563 - You slaved over every pixel of that visual. Then someone looks at it and asks if it can just be a table. Why that stings so much, and what to do with the feeling.

563 - Controversial opinion incoming. The three C's for AI right now, from someone who still calls himself an AI critic. Why being ambitious matters more than ever when the bar keeps rising.
