Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Be careful here, exporting paginated reports to PDF is a relatively expensive operation to perform from a CU standpoint. 1000s of exports will drive up background consumption very quickly 000
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Barely anybody ever made time to prep data models appropriately for *human* consumption, but per my senior leaders we have to spend time improving model quality because the computers need it 161

Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 04/06/2025"using the file connector (which requires a gateway) to connect to files in SharePoint instead of the SharePoint or Web connectors (which do not require a gateway) is a top 3 rookie move at my company. The product itself does not make it easy either youtu.be/kpRrK89tRU4?...youtu.beConnecting to Excel in SharePoint Online from Power Query (Lazy Tutorial)YouTube video by BI Polar 010

Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 24/03/2025My in laws are all doctors and nurses. They have their own language and are unaware that it's tedious and snobby. Dividing something into pieces is "aliquoting." "I don't have a fever" is "I'm afebrile." At Thanksgiving they talk about pipetting the turkey. 000
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Cannot emphasize how much CRUD APIs and availability in pro are essential here. I will struggle to take myself seriously if I have to regularly explain to confused users the difference between an "app" and an "org app" while discussing -yet another- way to distribute content in this platform 040
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 23/03/2025trading one set of paper cuts for another one if I move to org apps. Also only available on fabric capacities rn. Silly that it's not available for all workspaces. I know it's still in preview, but I'll bet you a pineapple pizza with provel it will have its own missing pieces that never get filled 140
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Only chance to get a feature like that these days is if copilot does it 120
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 20/03/2025It is, but in large datasets those PQ steps may take a long time to compute and require loading way more uncompressed data into memory than DAX would 110
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 20/03/2025If your table uses fixed start and end dates, PQ is the way to go. If you need dynamic dates based on your data as it refreshes, DAX (without CALENDARAUTO) is best 110
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 08/03/2025We have explicit environments for every repo in our org with unique parameter files that get picked up when a deployment happens in that environment so variables are usually replaced with key:value pairs, not by finding a guid or a string and replacing it with another 010
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Gave it a whirl this week using GitHub actions, and it handles basic publishing really well. Doesn't handle post deployment tasks yet, which are important for semantic models mostly. I also think the find/replace could be better, gets clunky if you proliferate feature branches imo 200
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Even if you're looking at eastern Washington, Wenatchee, Walla Walla, Chelan, cle elum, hell even Spokane are all objectively better than anything around the Hanford reach. It's just a series of speed traps with decent Mexican food 010
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 23/02/2025IMO sometimes, depending on the number of values and the variability of the data, they can become informative slicers that make better use of real estate. 020
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Woofers were rescued from another pair with cabinets that were in rough shape 110
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Recently finished refurbishing my dad's Advent Loudspeakers from the 70s. He's not famous but they have new woofers inside the original cabinets and new grills. They look and sound great! And the only tooltips and sparklines I had to be concerned with was a soldering iron 120
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Fun fact, if you want to deploy a pbip file with the fabric create/update item APIs, you can't use the the byPath property you have to build the byConnection object and replace it at run time 010
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Wonder if the doge edgelords have found this guy yet 020
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Yes, we have a single app for all our capacities shared to anyone who wants to see it 000
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Went to 2 nights of phish last April and kinda ruined my AV expectations for live music for a few months after that 100
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Unfortunately no I pick my Vegas trips very carefully. Now if there was something good at the sphere happening at night... 100
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Nice work, but worth mentioning there's no direct key vault integration in fabric like there is in ADF #beatthedeadhorse 100
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Is there a future world where excel writes DAX instead of MDX? As you can tell by my handle this is relevant to my interests 100
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Are those the on prem gateway log files? How are you accessing them in notebooks without a gateway? 100
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 11/01/2025I agree with your approach to teaching, but still think many:many relationships, auto date time and calculated columns using DAX shouldn't even be possible. We don't use training wheels to teach kids to ride bikes anymore because they have to unlearn things. Same should be true in Power BI Desktop. 110

Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 11/01/2025We have lots of teams in this situation. They have no interest in fabric workloads right now but getting lots of value from P1s. Our account team (mostly useless from a tech perspective, interested solely in selling E5) won't give us comparable pricing on fabric capacities 100
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 05/01/2025That's half the reason I almost never go to brunch (the other half is waiting for a table to eat food and drink beverages I can mostly make at home) 010

Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 20/12/2024"Conditional" in the sense that it only works under a few specific conditions, yes 010
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Pbip CICD pattern is fully baked and operational. CRUD on workspaces, roles, models, reports, binding to gateways, parameter swaps, post deployment refresh tasks. Run entirely by SP. Works in pro or dedicated capacity. All in python. On to notebooks! 010
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Tremendous stuff, this is foundational for any semantic modeling on top of your fabric tenant 010
Jordan @excelmiddleware.bsky.social · 18/12/2024This role should let you view all settings, configs, refresh history, etc even if you're not the item owner but not let you change anything. Helpful for troubleshooting, smoke testing and deployment validation 010
