Power BI Weekly

Issue #256 - 30th April 2024

No announcements this week, so we'll jump straight into the highlighted articles. Firstly, Ben Gribaudo has written a quick tip if you're using Time Values from Dataflow to Power BI via DirectLake. Chris Webb has started an insightful new series, writing about Power BI Semantic Model Memory Errors, Part 1: Model Size. Elsewhere, Reid Havens has shown the value of baked-in documentation in the video Adding Integrated Bookmark Notes in a Power BI Report, and Sandeep Pawar has described the process of Exporting Power BI Reports And Sharing With Granular Access Control In Fabric.

Finally, my colleague Barry has gathered his thoughts (from his many years in the industry) to write a sequel to his popular Microsoft Fabric For Technology Leaders series, writing the more generic blog Data is a socio-technical endeavour. He discusses in depth about his opinion on the ingredients required to build a high-performance data team, covering topics like the importance of a Product Mindset, creating Multi-Disciplinary teams and incorporating DataOps principles and processes. I highly recommend taking a read through his thinking here.
