I am Bas and I am here to teach everything I know about Power BI. My journey started a long, long time ago with VBA, Power Query and finally Power BI. Over the years I've build DataTraining.io, where I train and consult international organizations in Power BI and Tableau. Recently, I have decided to take everything I know and share it online, so that I can help more people :)
Follow along to get an independent view on Power BI, Power Query and Power Apps.
I always share my honest take on features, applications and limitations.

Fonts in Power BI?
Heres what to do and what you avoid, all on one page:
1️⃣ Sans serif vs. Serif fonts
2️⃣ One font family + a brand or serif font for titles.
3️⃣ Tabular for numbers is a must (especially in tables)
4️⃣ Power BI only shows fonts installed on the viewers machine (!) and it falls back to Times New Roman by default.
5️⃣ Free custom fonts: Google Fonts, Font Squirrel, Fontshare.
6️⃣ Add your font and its fallbacks to the theme JSON.

7 months ago I posted this:
„AI is going to take your job"
My job?! … Nice try 😂
Well…
Power BI’s new update, Fabric Apps, Claude makes it possible for AI to build the dashboard...
Especially with some curated skills you can get to good outputs. 😳
A big part of what we do suddenly takes seconds.
But here's what it still needs and it becomes even more important than ever (!):
– a clean data model underneath
– someone who knows if the number makes sense
– someone who knows what the stakeholder *really* wants and how it should be visualized
So the job is changing even faster than expected and I’m totally excited for it! We are running at the forefront of what tools and processes make sense, how to use them best, what to do and what not to do.
My team is already staffed on totally different projects:
Let’s build the model in Fabric and only then decided where/how best to visualize it?
Ok!
Can you build my full Power BI Agentic Team so I do not need to hire 10 Power BI devs?
Sure!
Can you show me how Fabric Apps can help my business?
Definitely.
Conversations are changing 🙌
This is by far the most exciting time to be in data that I know of.
Hope you are enjoying the ride too!

Before adding a custom visual to your report - read this! 🙌🏻
Here's what to consider:
- Certified ≠ Quality
- Check the last update date
- Speed
- Permissions
- Cost
- Can you achieve this with native one?

How to Power BI
Most Power BI developers only use the basics of slicer sync - here are 3 less known options /features 🙌🏻
1. Sync Different Slicer Types - you can sync a Dropdown slicer with a Tile/Button slicer.
2. Mastering Group Names - group slicers under a shared name in Advanced options to sync them across pages.
3. Sync Field vs Filter Changes: two different behaviors:
- Sync field changes = hierarchy updates automatically when you add new fields
- Sync filter changes = Filter pane and visual-level filters sync across all slicers in the group

How to Power BI
Power BI only gives you 26 fonts - and your brand font probably isn't one of them 🙌🏻
Here's everything you need to know about custom fonts:
The dropdown problem:
26 fonts sounds like a lot until you remove symbols, outdated ones, and Comic Sans. You're left with ~6 usable options, most reports end up with Segoe + DIN
Power BI reads fonts from the OS: your custom font has to be installed on every machine your viewers open the report on.
The theme workaround: "Download current theme" is greyed out by default. Give your theme a custom name first, then the button unlocks.
