Power BI Weekly Issue 58: 12th May 2020

How many exciting announcements at MBAS were there?! Some incredible new capabilities are on the way. Probably the most impressive of which is the new composite models feature, highlighted in Christian Wade's session, which gives analysts the ability to extend or modify Enterprise semantic models to suit their needs. Arun Ulag has provided an overview of all the new/upcoming features in the blog Driving a data culture: from insight to action - make sure you have a flick through that (don't miss the more detailed blog on the new Personalize Visuals Experience for Power BI Reports). Elsewhere, we've received the new Power BI Desktop April 2020 Feature Summary, we've been told about the new Timely Premium Capacity Overload Alerts, and we now have the capability to Automate Data Gateway Installation (Public Preview).

Elsewhere this week, Chris Webb has pointed out the Power Query Formatter created by the Power Pivot Insights folks over in Germany, Marc Lelijveld has described how to Leverage Azure Cognitive Services in Power BI without Premium subscription, and Barrett Studdard has written an interesting blog about UI Design and Neumorphism in Power BI.
