Game Time – DAX Mission Impossible

August 21, 2018 By Mike Carlo

PowerBI.Tips and Phil Seamark are proud to release our third game written in Power BI, DAX Mission Impossible. This game is similar to the game play of the old game of Hang Man. However, Phil and I decided that was a bit morbid so instead we decided to change the style of the game a bit. Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to disarm the bomb by guess letters that comprise a DAX formula. You have 5 chances, to guess the expression correctly. If you guess the wrong letter, the Power BI Logo will slowly dis-appear, and once it is all gone… Boom…

Play the game below:

We hope you enjoyed this game. If you are curious and want to download the file to see how it works follow this link to get a free download.

Crawl, Walk, Run with AI in PBI – Ep.553

Meagan Longoria's five-stage maturity model for agentic Power BI development gives Mike and Tommy a framework to argue with. They mostly agree — except on the crawl stage, where Mike thinks starting with an MCP server beats starting with a chatbot.

Power BI Desktop Bridge – Ep.552

Desktop Bridge gives agents a local server to drive Power BI Desktop — reload files, check report state, and take screenshots so the agent can verify its own work. Mike and Tommy agree on the prerequisite: don't use it without skills.
