    Milwaukee Brew City PUG – Sept 2020

    We were excited to welcome a good friend of PowerBI.Tips Alex Powers to speak with us at this months PUG meeting. Alex blew a bunch of minds by diving into the depths of Calculated Columns and the love or hate relationship we should have with them.

    Calculated Columns are a common element to the new users. Those users typically come from a default analyst mindset of “see the data” then perform the calculation. This pattern can lead to a bunch of performance issues. Alex shows us how to be intentional with our decision making and provides some solid advice throughout. Be sure to check out this video as it is packed with great insights and conversation around this topic for the beginner as well as the long time expert.

    Milwaukee Brew City PUG – August 2020

    Back again with another Power BI User group for Milwaukee. This month Mike and Seth walk through the beta release of external tools. If you didn’t see the announcement from Microsoft but in July of 2020 was the release of External tools.

    What are External Tools? I’m glad you asked. An External Tool is an application that can be used along side with Power BI. Parameters can be passed from Power BI desktop into the External Tool, such as a connection string to the data model.

    We are super thrilled about this new ability to enhance the Power BI desktop experience so much that we built a custom installer that will enable users install many of these external tools all in one place. This is why we build Business Ops.

    Watch this month’s PUG to see how to install External Tools for your machine.

    Milwaukee Brew City PUG – Jan 2020

    Here we are, jumping in to 2020. This Month PowerBI.Tips is kicking off and sponsoring the next year of Power BI user groups (PUGs) for Milwaukee. If you are not participating in your Local Power BI User Group we highly recommend that you get plugged in. Power BI User groups are intended for like minded Power BI individuals to get together and learn from each other.

    If you don’t have a User Group you can follow along with our group. We record each user group and post the highlights from the 2 hour event. This month we go over the top three most popular blog posts from 2019. Then we demo creating a Paginated report in from a PowerBI.com dataset. Finally we publish the Paginated report into the PowerBI.com service for end users.
