128: Mailbag! Major Rebuilds On Bad Power BI Reports

Today's topic comes from the mailbag! to get your own question discussed, see the links below. We have talked loads about the need for a strong Hub (centralized BI team) with good spokes (departmental BI). But what happens when there is no Hub, or you have a weak one? What if you are building from a non-centralized area and introducing Power BI to the organization? The guys discuss adoption approaches and how they change in this situation.

121: Architecture of Data Implementation - Power BI Usage Guides

Hosted by Mike Carlo, Seth Bauer, and Tommy Puglia, the Explicit Measures Podcast is a Power BI focused show that is like being around a Power BI Pro’s Water Cooler. With so many available resources in the community that focuses on the “how” in Power BI (how to do Drill Through, how to use DAX, etc.,), the Explicit Measures Podcast is all around the WHY. Why use a particular feature, does it make sense for my users? Build the toolset, learn the how, and then come to the Podcast to the listen to the why in situations we all experience as Power BI Pros.

This comes in hot from another great article by Matthew Roche - link here: https://ssbipolar.com/2022/04/16/on-building-expertise/ We have seen just in the last couple of months the Power Platform dramatically shift. From Data Marts (in progress) to creating a Power APP from a drawing, we are in the business to not only do our job well, but constantly identify the new skills and then tackle and grow that into another tool on our belt.  What should anyone in the data space look for in regards to new skills to learn, and then how do you start that journey?

116: Is The Power BI Platform Better Than the Classic Microsoft BI Architecture Stack?

Anyone who creates Power BI reports for a living knows the dance of the request and the value. Does every request deserve time and effort?  Thus the importance of pushing back. The guys discuss the why on evaluating requests that should be pushed back, how to resolve the conflict of the value based on the BI Team / Stakeholder, and what should we do to create a standard for pushing back effectively.

111: Dealing With Spokes - Centralized Power BI and Departmental BI

Hosted by Mike Carlo, Seth Bauer, and Tommy Puglia, the Explicit Measures Podcast is a Power BI focused show that is like being around a Power BI Pro’s Water Cooler. With so many available resources in the community that focuses on the “how” in Power BI (how to do Drill Through, how to use DAX, etc.,), the Explicit Measures Podcast is all around the WHY. Why use a particular feature, does it make sense for my users? Build the toolset, learn the how, and then come to the Podcast to the listen to the why in situations we all experience as Power BI Pros.
