🚀 Mastering Roster & Timesheet Reporting: From Minutes to Millions

📅 Livestream Today @ 2:30 PM PT (Rescheduled 1 hour later!)

📊 Tired of flat timesheet tables and limited workforce metrics? In this livestream, I’m joined by Kane Snyder, a powerhouse in Fabric, DAX, and workforce analytics, to show how to elevate roster and timesheet data from raw rows to decision-ready insights.

Together, we'll explore:

✅ Patterns for roster modeling in Power BI & Fabric

✅ Turning minutes into actionable KPIs

✅ Timesheet best practices across industries

💬 Perfect for Power BI devs, workforce ops, and anyone buried in time logs and approval chains.

🎙 Guest: Kane Snyder – Head of Analytics, Principal Fabric Architect, and long-time expert in workforce analytics, time-tracking, and DAX pattern building. Lives in Queensland, surfs, and somehow still knows more about DAX than you.

📢 Join Nikola Ilic and I next Tuesday at 9:30 AM (PT)! We're having a game changer session on Field Parameters!

🤔 How many times you’ve heard this when a new feature hit the Power BI ecosystem? But, not all of these features lived up to these high expectations. Field parameters don’t belong to that group, as they truly changed the way we’re building our Power BI solutions.

🎁 In this demo-packed session, you’ll learn what are Field parameters, in which scenarios they’ll become your “best friend”, and how to solve some of the most common challenges related to Field parameters implementation (who said, the selected value of the field parameter and conditional formatting).

Join 💀 Johnny Winter 💀 and I next Friday January 12th @ 9:30 AM (PT) as we do a deep dive into the Data Build Tool (DBT)!

🔭 Explore the powerful fusion of dbt (data build tool) with Microsoft Fabric. Discover how this integration allows you to transform your data using version controlled, documented, repeatable and testable patterns that you're able to deploy within Fabric's Synapse Data Warehousing.

📚 Learn practical use cases and best practices for leveraging dbt's capabilities, enhancing data reliability and driving more informed decision-making processes. For those wanting to follow along, you'll need access to a Fabric Data Warehouse, VS Code and a virtual python environment.

📺 Join Jeffrey Wang and I next Friday December 29th 9:30 AM (PT) as we take a deep dive and review of the NEW DAX Query View


⚙️ The November Desktop release's public preview of the DAX Query View has ignited excitement among the DAX community. This feature represents the first new view since the inception of Desktop, joining the existing trio of Report View, Data View, and Model View. This addition is poised to transform the way DAX programmers approach their craft, encouraging them to write their own DAX queries more frequently.

👩🏻‍💻 A common challenge with DAX lies in its flexibility, as multiple methods often exist to achieve similar results. DAX queries are no exception; the community has already begun discussing various functions capable of producing comparable query results. In this episode, we will delve into the recommended functions and patterns for writing DAX queries. We aim to demystify the best practices recommended by the product team by exploring the historical context of their development.

📢 Join Brian Grant and I next Friday December 15th 9:30 AM PST!

👨🏻‍🔬 “DAX Evaluation Context”, just the name alone strikes fear into the heart of even seasoned Power BI developers. The reality however, is that Evaluation Context in DAX isn’t hard to understand, it’s simply hard to describe. In this session Brian Grant will use a technique called "Formula Decomposition" to visually break down a big DAX formula into a chain of smaller, bit-sized sub-formulas; this in turn will create the platform needed for Brian to make the concepts of Evaluation Context both clear to understand and easy to remember.

👁️ At the end of the presentation you will both have a clear idea of how to visualize Row and Filter Context, and also understand how the sub-formulas leverage these contexts to produce the answers you see on a Power BI page. Furthermore, the next time you look at a big intimidating DAX formula, you will know how to break it down into bite sized chunks so they can be understand one at a time.
