Power BI Weekly Issue 218: 1st August 2023

A bit of a quiet one this week - the only official blog is the announcement of Low code authoring of paginated reports, which is a huge feature bringing the quick and easy creation of paginated reports over Power BI datasets directly within the Power BI Service - great to see the positive comments. Otherwise this week, Kurt Buhler has released a couple of blogs on data viz, namely around Bar Charts and Basic Line Charts in Power BI, showing the wealth of visual possibilities with a bit of measure magic. Finally, Angela Henry has written about the various Options for Data Source Credentials When A Service Principle Owns A Power BI Dataset - none of which is perfect by itself - just shows the importance of weighing up your technical options (given the limitations) and deciding what's best for your scenario.

Finally, my colleague Barry has shared the first of a five-part series aimed at helping technology leaders assess the strategic implications of Microsoft Fabric. His first blog asserts that Microsoft Fabric Is A Socio-Technical Endeavour where people and processes are just as important the tech. Do take a look!
