Power BI March 2017 Release

This month it is a major game changer.  PowerBI has introduced the ability to change the color theme of your Power BI reports.  What does this mean for you?  Well, this means hours of time saved.  Previously when you needed to style a report you would need to click on every visual and change the colors.  This is useful when you have a specific theme or product you want to match colors with.  Now all this can be done with a couple clicks for all visuals across the entire report.  Wow!!!

Additionally, the ability to generate a theme is awesome but you also will need a tool to help you create a color theme.  In response for this need I have created a Color Theme Generator that will aid you in the creation of making color themes.  To read the tutorial on color themes visit this link.

Mike Carlo and Tommy Puglia work out which teams should reach for a plan, which should stay in Git and GitHub Actions, and why both would wait for GA.
