Power BI Weekly
Issue #265 - 2nd July 2024
A very short edition this week. The only announcement is that of the Power BI Admin portal Usage metrics dashboard retirement, which (as you may have already noticed) is being superseded by the Admin monitoring workspace (preview) which includes additional granular insights. On the community articles-front this week: Roland Szirmai has walked through a scenario around Fixing Power Query CSV Import Issues using both the GUI and code, Justin Martin has described Creating User-Driven Default Slicer Selections to cater for scenairos where users are allowed to see all data, but their default view should be customized to default to their area, and Bas Dohmen has shown us 3 Power BI Visuals You Haven't Seen Before, including a dynamic column/line switching chart, a fill-card visual, and a customized funnel-style chart incorporating custom labels and the new ribbon functionality announced earlier this year.
