Power BI Weekly

Issue #322 - 26th August 2025

Welcome to the 322nd edition of Power BI Weekly! A quiet week this week, with just the one article from the Power BI team. They're going into a bit more detail of one of the August feature summary announcements, which is the Semantic Model Refresh Templates in Power BI (Preview), which provide various ways to easily orchestrate your Power BI refreshed, including incremental refreshes, chaining dependent refreshe, and event-driven refreshes. All very common scenarios! Elsewhere this week, Matt Mair-Durrant has written an interesting article describing how to Narrate Your Data: Implementing Dynamic Alt-Text for Inclusive Reporting, taking advantage of the ability to populate Alt Text using a DAX formula much like you can for conditional formatting. Finally, Jon Stjernegaard Vöge has continued his series of experiments on Translytical Task Flows, providing a novel solution for Using Dropdowns for User Input in Translytical Task Flows.
