There’s Power Apps in my Microsoft Teams

Today, on the first day of the 2020 Virtual Microsoft Ignite, Project Oakdale was highlighted.  What is Project Oakdale.  It is like the old Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup commercial….  “There is a Power App in my Teams” or There’s Teams on my Power App.”  Whichever way you say it, it ROCKS!  In this video, I will show you the creation of a Power App, using a table that I’ll create in CDS, publishing it all on a Microsoft Teams Channel. 

WHAT???? 

That’s right I said it, all in less than 10 minutes!

Using Microsoft Power BI Q&A to ask about a specific field in a column

Yesterday I had the pleasure of hanging out with the Microsoft Modern Excel and Power BI user Group.  We were talking about Q&A and discovered, together, a method of asking about data based on the value of a specific column.  While using the Q&A feature of Microsoft Power BI, I have done things like “Show me the revenue where the state is MN” but I had asked in this method.  We were looking at revenue by Customer Age when someone wanted to know if I could call on a range of ages.  The answer is yes, and here are the results.  Also, check this group out, they are super cool!

Using DAX with Conditional Formatting in Microsoft Power BI

Tiny Tips

OK, I have this table visual in my Microsoft Power BI Report and I want to highlight a row if a column value is “Yes” but do nothing to the background if the value is “No”.  In this Tiny Tip video, I will show you how to achieve this very thing.

Today’s DAX Expression:

Hold Background Color =
VAR _HoldColor = SELECTEDVALUE(Customers[Hold])
RETURN
IF(_HoldColor = “Yes”, “#A0D1FF”)
