This week we've had the official announcement regarding the New export settings in the Power BI admin portal which I highlighted in the editorial last week - do check them out if you haven't already. The Power BI team has also written a blog about Moving on-premises AS and RS BI solutions to Azure - and closer to Power BI, referring to the new SSAS and SSRS VM images in the Azure Marketplace.

In the last week, Arthi Ramasubramanian Iyer has told us that that the On-premises data gateway November 2020 update is now available, including a new Hive LLAP connector, software updates and deprecation notices, and Chris Finlan has taken us on a tour about the new Power BI Premium Per User Administrative Settings, which include the now-more-granular (and therefore flexible!) export settings, allowing an admin to toggle exporting on and off on a file-format basis. Elsewhere this week, Spencer Baucke has continued the 'Power BI for Tableau Developers' series, this time talking about Slicers & Filters, and Colby Ford has written about ingesting and analyzing Bioinformatics and Genomics file in Power BI.
