Power BI Weekly

Issue #324 - 9th September 2025

Nothing to announce this week. I should think the Power BI/Fabric teams are gearing up for FabCon Europe which is taking place next week. I won't be there, but a couple of my colleagues will be, so keep your eyes peeled on LinkedIn for some updates! On the community side this week, Gil Raviv has written about Sentiment Analysis in Power Query, discussing the deprecation of the old Power Query AI Insights feature, and offering a new solution using the Azure AI Language service instead. Davide Bacci is back sharing more design ideas, this time showing an effective way to Create a Launch Page using the HTML Content (Lite) visual. Finally, Koen Verbeeck has walked through using Workspace Identity Authentication for your Power BI Semantic Models in Microsoft Fabric, in his example using an Azure SQL DB as an example semantic model data source.
