The B Word & a Confession from the Intersection of Exhaustion and Ambition
Lately, I’ve been standing at a crossroads: one direction is labeled Exhaustion Way, the other Inner Critic Boulevard.

[6/?] Anyway, we have received positive feedback from this approach and decent engagement. Wondering if anyone has taken a similar approach with #PowerBI or any other tools to drive adoption at your company?

[5/?] We started a bi-weekly #PowerBI newsletter on Viva Engage to address #3. This is a "Did you know" style newsletter that addresses basic tips and tricks a beginner consumer or creator would like to learn about. We have posted 9 articles thus far and have been getting consistent engagement...

[3/?] Among other things, we successfully created and shared a #PowerBI Style Guide to address #1. I talked a little bit about that here bsky.app/profile/cjma...

Chris Majka @cjmajka.bsky.social · 30/05/2025
[2/?] We took a 3 pronged approach to accomplish this: 1. Develop standards to share across the org 2. Establish and maintain a #PowerBI user group 3. Create #PowerBI content for consumers and creators to reference

[1/?] I lead the Data Visualization & Reporting team at my company. We are a fairly new group - formally created in 2024. We use #PowerBI and it had begun to really take off at the company. So part of our mission is to create standards and act as ambassadors for Power BI adoption...

Excellent thanks. For now, the suggestion above does not appear to have the same issues, so I have switched to Expanded view for now.

Yes indeed. I will try that out. Thanks

Anyone else noticing strange resolution/scaling on the #PowerBI App icons in the service? Been happening for a couple of weeks now.

The method that I linked to is dynamic based on your data.

Interesting. Is CalendarAuto () dynamic based on the dataset?

Chris Majka @cjmajka.bsky.social · 19/03/2025
...I know you can create them using DAX as well. Is one method better than the other in #PowerBI? I like that the Power Query method is dynamic and can be turned into a Dataflow, which we use across projects.

I was giving a presentation on creating a date table from scratch in #PowerBI. My go to method has always been using Power Query, a la @ehansalytics.bsky.social on his site www.ehansalytics.com/blog/2019/3/... ...but got me to thinking...

Also, are you removing any unnecessary columns? And if you have any date columns in your model, I would recommend disabling auto date/time in settings. This can REALLY bloat your model

Chris Majka @cjmajka.bsky.social · 11/03/2025
minimum of 16GB RAM is a must. Also, using calculated columns will strain the model. Are you doing any of that instead of writing explicit measures, etc.?

Ok, we have posted 3 #PowerBI Did You Know style articles. We have seen 125 views on the first article, 60 on the second, and 45 on the third [just posted this week]. Doesn't sound like much, but we have gained 10 new colleagues to our User Group as a direct result 🙌

are you distributing reports via the workspace? I think that goes against best practice, in my experience. what would be the use case for that?
