MVPs React July 2020

This month we are trying something brand new. We are introducing a new series called MVPs react. As you may already know Power BI has monthly desktop releases. If you are as excited about these releases as I am I love talking about all the new features. So, why not get a fun group of MVPs together to discuss everything.

These events are similar to a fire side chat about Power BI among the best experts within the community. We hope you enjoy the conversation, and learn a couple new things as well.

Here is our session for the Power BI desktop release for July 2020.

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.
