Most of those fear of listeria diet restrictions are dubious anyway

Be 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

Barely 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

Connection management in Fabric is a mess. That entire area needs to be revamped and made modern.

"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?...

My 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.

Cannot 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

trading 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

Only chance to get a feature like that these days is if copilot does it

It 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
March 20, 2025 at 2:39 PM
If 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

We 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

Gave 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

Even 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
