You cannot improve what you do not measure.
I am building a Microsoft Power BI report that will display the stats for the US College (American) Football South Eastern Conference (SEC). In this video, I will show you have I get team logos from my dataset to display.

I have shown you already how to create parameters with SQL Server data in Microsoft Power BI. This time, I am going to show how to use a suggested list, so rather than manually entering data, I can select my parameter from a dropdown list. By the way, if you are a US College (American) football fan, you will be excited about the report that is being built!

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!

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.

Hold Background Color =
VAR _HoldColor = SELECTEDVALUE(Customers[Hold])
RETURN
IF(_HoldColor = “Yes”, “#A0D1FF”)
Ever use a map visual in Microsoft Power BI, but the locations are not correct? In this Tiny Tip I will show you how to categorize geographic fields. For example, we will take the city field and define it as a City. If you were trying to display information for the city of New York, Texas, you would not want it to display as the state of New York.

User adoption of any application is a “Hard road to Hoe”. Sorry, the southerner in me breaks out every now and then. In this Tiny Tip video, I’ll show you how to make a Microsoft Power BI report page, that will help end users have control over what they see.

If you have ever used the Microsoft Power BI Q&A visual, you know it creates “Suggested Questions” for you based on your dataset. In this Tiny tip, I’ll show you have to create your own list of suggested questions, ones that are relevant to you and your users!

The Q&A is a super cool visual in Microsoft Power BI. In this Tiny Tip I will show you how to add synonyms to your data fields so Q&A can recognize different terms that end users may enter. For example, what if you call your customers “Guests” or “Clients”? If you do, this tip is for you!
