💙 Power BI & The Five Love Languages – A Valentine’s Day Special! 💙

Love isn’t just for people—it’s for Power BI users, too! In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, let’s explore how Power BI speaks its own love languages and makes your data relationship stronger.

💬 Words of Affirmation → Data Labels & Tooltips
Need validation? Data Labels and Tooltips provide constant feedback, showing exact values and insights at a glance. It’s like Power BI whispering, “You’re doing great, keep analyzing!”

🛠 Acts of Service → Power Query
Nothing says love like doing the hard work for you. Power Query automates data cleaning and transformation, just like a thoughtful partner who surprises you with a clean house after a long day.

🎁 Receiving Gifts → Custom Visuals & AppSource
Who doesn’t love a thoughtful surprise? Power BI gives you free custom visuals in AppSource, so your reports can look better than ever. It’s like getting a perfect Valentine’s gift!

⏳ Quality Time → DAX
DAX isn’t a fling—it’s a deep relationship. Once you understand it, your Power BI skills will never be the same. It requires effort, but the results? Totally worth it.

👆 Physical Touch → Drag & Drop
Power BI loves when you interact with it—dragging fields, clicking on slicers, resizing visuals—it responds immediately. The perfect interactive experience!

This Valentine’s Day, show your dashboards some love! 💕

📣 Due to unforeseen family events, Day 14 (and subsequent videos) of #AdventOfAutomation will be delayed. I’ll do my best to post and share them as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience!

I recently completed a Power BI project with a unique twist: tracking the height of The Wiggles over time! 🎉

Originally, I set out to visualise my Spotify listening history but soon realised that The Wiggles were my most-played artist, all thanks to my toddler. So instead, I pivoted to creating a report on how their heights have evolved through the years, using Power BI’s new ribbon features to showcase this playful data.

While it’s not your typical BI project, it was a fun, family-inspired journey into data viz. And who knows - maybe my daughter will appreciate it one day when she starts her own BI adventure!

You know that feeling when you’re in “presentation mode,” talking up all the incredible things #PowerAutomate can do? 

Smiling like you’re driving an open road, sharing all the ways automation can save time and effort. 🌞🚗

Then, there’s the other side - when you’re setting it up, actually building out the steps, fixing the inevitable bugs, and dealing with the quirks along the way. That’s where you’ll find me deep in “McConaughey cry face” mode. 😅

But the real thrill is seeing everything work, knowing the time saved was totally worth the effort.

To everyone building today - hang in there! It’s all part of the journey. #AutomationLife

Let’s talk about data cleansing and validation—the unsung heroes of decision-making. You can build the most brilliant reports, but if the data underneath is a mess, those reports aren’t worth much. It’s like trying to build a skyscraper on sand. Bad data leads to bad decisions, and no one wants that.

Taking the time to scrub your data ensures that your reports are accurate, reliable, and actually useful when it comes to making those big business calls. Don’t let dirty data steer you in the wrong direction! Keep your data clean, and your decisions will follow. 🧹

I like adding a 'Contact Us' button to my #PowerBI reports - it adds a human touch and improves user experience. The native 'Contact' button in Power BI Service isn’t as intuitive to find. Do you add a contact button to your reports?

#DataAnalytics ❌ #CherryPicking

Always exercise caution when interpreting numbers in a report. While it's possible to identify a single figure, it's crucial to question whether that number truly reflects the complete narrative of how the business is performing. Stay vigilant and ensure you are looking at the bigger picture beyond isolated data points.

#FridayMotivation
It's unfair to assume that a single person should/could know everything about a tech stack...

Recently, I heard examples where companies were looking for new recruits who are well aware (and have experience) with #Fabric #PowerBI #DataManagement #ETL #DataVisualization #SQL #PowerAutomate and many more tools... while having business domain knowledge at the same time.

Make sure you learn more about the tools that make sense in your desired field or where you want your career to grow!
