Bringing data to life, addicted to Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, then, now, and even more in the future. Fabric and Power BI sherpa by day and data addict by night ... Some of my data heroes are Marz / Cleveland / Tufte
My dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, for years I use #LiquidText for reading pdf documents, but I realize that I start using Obsidian/PDF++ more often (see the screenshot below).
My question, what are you using to read and annotate technical pdf documents?
My dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, my friend
@datamozart.bsky.social and I will dissect all the Fabric news on our nxt #DataCenturials talk next Wednesday, 7:00 PM CET
Join us here:

My dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric, I'm happy and proud to share that I consider me being a full #Fabricator now as I have just added the #DP700 certification to the long waiting #DP600 cert😉🕺
My dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, my latest blog article is here publish.obsidian.md/minceddata/Blo… it's not about all the #learning from a fantastic #MVPsummit, instead it's about #datavisualization, even more boring it's about visualizing text ;-)
My Dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, this is my latest article. This one will cover all the ideas I publish on the official Fabric / PowerBI site but will put the ideas in a broader context: publish.obsidian.md/minceddata/B...
Please, if you like the ideas, take the time to upvote them 🙏
My dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends here you will find my latest article, it's about the placement of a semantic model with Direct Lake connection mode and how this affects the sharing of the model: publish.obsidian.md/minceddata/B...
Enjoy reading!
Hey @romansingele.bsky.social, here you will find the agenda of the event www.datatoboggan.co.uk/winter-editi...
My dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, my first blog article in 2025 is not related to Fabric 😉
This article is about the Enhanced Refresh API and how this API and Power Automate can help to overcome the semantic model refresh duration limit:

Hey Roman, I have to admit that I do not know if the session will be recorded, the event will happen on the 25th of January. As soon as the event organizers have published the the agenda I will report back here.
My dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends as the festive days come to an end, I started working on the slides for my first session in 2025 - it's about Power BI Metrics Sets. Using Excalidraw and the Microsoft Fabric Architecture icons, drawings like the one below become a breeze
The snippet below shows how I create the column that contains the SVG code to draw the colored rectangles in my Power BI reports:
my dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends how is your Sunday going. Mine is working fine, using a notebook to query a REST API, transforming the request result a little, storing the result as a delta table, accessing the semantic model, and visualizing this:
my dear #PowerBI friends, my latest article is not about #MicrosoftFabric, it's about #DataVisualization and adding the visual benefits of a pie chart to a bar chart, to finally get rid of some of these pie charts You will find the article here: www.minceddata.info/2023/11/12/t...
my dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, my new article is about creating a solution that monitors the on-premises data gateways (there will be more items considered in the future). Using #Python, Power BI's REST API, and a Direct Lake dataset: www.minceddata.info/2023/10/16/p...
Enjoy reading
my dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, here you will find my first #data #architecture article. It's about the lakehouse, the medallion architecture, a notebook, sempy, and guess what - I'm also referencing #MicrosoftExcel
Enjoy reading: www.minceddata.info/2023/10/09/t...
my dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, I'm a little happy that it's raining ... I use a notebook and #sempy (eg #DAX to
@pandas_dev
data frame) to create a simple #datavisualization using seaborn ... This is amazing! Next stop: learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/fabric...
this the Fabric feature that allows the synch between a workspace and a git repo
my dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, #learning about #azuredevops now will be a valuable asset in the not-so-distant future. You can start your learning here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/traini...
my dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, I just synched a Notebook to a DevOps repo. I wish there would be folders, though. And before you ask: No, I'm not bored. It's a public holiday here in Germany and #thewomanilove is conducting a test from her studies
my dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends currently, there are 107 Tenant settings in the Admin portal, I expect more will pop up in the not-so-distant future. It's never too late to learn how the settings will impact your Fabric Tenant settings
my dear #MicrosoftFabric friends, the spark utilities that are available in Fabric notebooks simplify many things, my favorite function though: mssparkutils.credentials.getSecret
here you will find the docs: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric...
my dear #PowerBI friends, here is one of the rare book reviews I do. But this book is special "Pro Power BI Architecture" (2nd edition) by Reza Rad.
www.minceddata.info/2023/09/09/b...
I consider it crucial for every Power BI Sherpa!
From the questions I read at community.powerbi.com it must be a secret. From my experience, I consider it the most "simple" component of the Power BI platform. But maybe it's like the DAX thing - simple but not easy.
#deneb 1.6 for #PowerBI is now in alpha release phase. This is a big set of changes, so anyone who can help test/validate their existing work + new changes will be incredibly valuable :)
Overview and details of how you can help can be found on my site: coacervo.co/deneb_alpha_...
my dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, I'm wondering if you consider the workings of the on-premises gateway still a secret, now that vnet gateway and personal connections are looming? Is a blog article (maybe a series) or even a session helpful?
my dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, if you want to map your Power BI estate and there are more than two workspaces, this article will help you to overcome timeouts powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/b...
my dear #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric friends, this may be a small step for mankind, but it's a giant leap for us Power BI Sherpas: blog.fabric.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/s... Thank you team 👏
my dear #PowerBI, #MicrosoftFabric, and #AzureDatabricks friends, we are living in exciting times: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purvie...
the "images" are amazing love the closing scene👏but the music make think - next take will be butter promotion 😱 please excuse. Is the footage raw, of course except cut and sound
Will update the about site later this weekend. Great to hear you enjoyed the article.
