Power BI Quiz – Themes

October 15, 2020 By Mike Carlo

This month I had the privilege of participating in the Power BI Quiz. If you don’t know about the Power BI Quiz show, this is an event that is put on by Just Blindbaek. Just does a great job of creating a Season of Quizzes. Experts from across the Power BI community are co-hosts and submit questions about a specific topic.

This week the topic was all about themes. Thus, I whipped up some questions and had an absolute blast!

Thank you to everyone who was able to participate and play the game.

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.
