This morning, I was ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐๐ค๐๐ย ๐ฒ (not kidding) to hear that there are consulting firms suggesting that data be moved out of semantic models to achieve a better consumption experience with LLMs.
Really?
What a lie.
Don't listen to my words. I have a vested interest in Power BI semantic models.
Hear what a lie this is, straight from Rob Collie in his podcast (linked below - if you don't have much time, go straight to 26:30).

If you heard stories like "consulting firms suggesting to get all data out of Power BI semantic models", please write your story in the comments. I understand competition, but I cannot justify lying to customers. Rob Collie has already expressed my thoughts, so I don't need to add anything else; I agree with him.

This is the best single article I've read so far that describes what you can and cannot do with AI-generated code.
Suitable for developers and non-developers to understand what is going on beyond the hype.

Last week on SQLBI we published an article about tools in Power BI. Here's an overview of some (not all!) external tools that can help you, and at what stage in.
Check below for a downloadable PDF.

It was awesome to see the massive #MicrosoftFabric community at #FabCon. The keynote is now available with tons of announcements and demos. Check it out. t.ly/Owy2W #PowerBI

Exporting your model metadata and DAX calculations isn't "documenting your model".
Why would I look at the same information that's in the actual model, but structured in a less useful and functional way?
Good documentation should focus on purpose, processes, and people.

If you have already or going to install May 2024 Power BI Report Server update - you need to create environment and system variables if you are using direct queries to connect to your servers.
I have written a blog post with the steps here

One day after teaching my colleague fuzzy matching in #Powerbi, he's applying it in an internal client's project.
There are lots of pockets in areas in businesses where using Power BI + SQL can make the work process more efficient. It is not always about building dashboards.

Rough Fabric estimate method. Select one of the past days (high usage one) on the metrics app and get the number of CU(s) on the bottom. Divide by 86400, round it up to the next power of 2 and that's the number of the F-SKU you should get to sleep peacefully.

Hints from a book from the future:
โHonestly, it would be better to be a good data modeler and a mediocre DAX author than a DAX guru but a poor data modeler. Therefore, if data modeling is not your cup of tea, roll up your sleeves and start learning it. Maybe during the pauses, while reading this book: you will attain two great goals at once.โ
