The technique not only allows you to browse the underlying model easily but also enhance and change such as adding/changing measures. Power BI data models are … Continue reading Using Visual Studio Code with Power BI
I received feedback on my recent blog post on single-column fusion asking about a curious syntax used in the solution. I promised I would do a deeper dive on why it works in my next blog, so here it is. This article is also a fun reminder/refresher on how iterator functions work in Power BI. … Continue reading DAX 1-Column Fusion Pt 2
One approach to optimise DAX queries is to focus on the number of Storage Engine (SE) calls generated by a query and look for ways to provide the same result using fewer SE calls. If a query takes 30 seconds to run and makes hundreds of SE calls, reducing the number of SE calls almost … Continue reading DAX 1-Column Fusion

It’s not a function I find myself using often, so I thought I’d do a bit of digging to find out what it does and when it … Continue reading DAX KEEPFILTERS
