Switch before it hurts!🤕 That is the clear message our colleague Arto De Graef wrote in this latest #PowerBI blog. Lots of companies have done great without really paying too much attention to their data and its underlying processes. They have grown over time without doing so, but there is a risk in missing the next wave. Discover how Power BI will ease the switch and the vast amount of benefits this will bring to your reporting. If you aren't new to Power BI, check out our latest Webinar on Power BI + Copilot. That video is at the bottom of this blog. #PowerBI #ExcelReporting #ExcelToPowerBI

Most Fabric enthusiasts have probably already heard: there’s a new certification in town: DP-700 (currently in beta)! It's all about implementing data engineering solutions using Microsoft Fabric!  Reitse Eskens and I thought this would be a great chance to team up again. We both looked at the study guide (https://lnkd.in/ei_AGbB7) and will break down each topic step-by-step for you. So, what’s the collaboration? Instead of each of us going solo, we combine forces: Reitse on the blog posts and me on the video tutorials. This way, you get practical examples and detailed breakdowns for every section. Our intro video and article are already live! To stay updated: 📽️ Subscribe to the YouTube playlist: https://lnkd.in/ezdwYc4J 🧾Check out Reitse's blog: https://lnkd.in/eKGDb8s7.

Sometimes, when we get used to using a tool, we can overlook some functionality.  I recently learned about a superb Power BI option from Jeroen Dekker: improving all font sizes in a table and matrix in Power BI at once.  This only works if you have not yet manually changed the font size before (if you did, you can easily reset it to default). #PowerBI #DataViz #DataVisualization

Check out my Data Story Book summary of Collibra's DATA CITIZENS 24 Show in NYC. I am always looking for the Data Stories and I found plenty! Collibra CEO & Founder Felix Van de Maele opened the day with his vision to help customers "create the unified view of their data" We all have to be on the same page!👍 McDonald's John Tucker presented his unified view in the shape of a Quarter Pounder with cheese!* 🍔 We’ll take some AI fries with that! 🍟 * No, I did not ask what they call that system in France! 😂 DATAcated’s Kate Strachnyi🤩 showed up for a group shot with John! Thomas Brence still buzzing from the amazing New York Mets victory, deftly moderated his panel through endless baseball metaphors! ⚾ David Janson led off with healthcare giant Cigna Evernorth’s "self-healing data." Then Linh Nguyen threw an imagery curveball with an ’80s pop-inspired mnemonic for financial services firm Edward Jones, where data is "T’Pau: trusted, protected, accessible, understood." Chris Tabb, COO of LEIT DATA and Mayor of #MeanDataStreets arrived in his #DATAPUPPETS T-shirt! 🐝 Michael Rahm makes the case for AI governance: “Without constant access to trustworthy data, AI projects don’t get off the ground.” There's sure a lot of traffic on that runway! ✈️ Seth Clark vows to “capture as much metadata as possible” And I believe him! He never meta data he didn’t like!😆 OMG!! Ran into Ping F. and the DQ team from NBCUniversal, including Rahel Mehreteab and Runqian (Sarah) Huang. Ping was carrying my book TELLING YOUR DATA STORY and asked “Would you sign it?” WOULD I?!?! 😎 Then CMO Denise Vu Broady wrapped up a great day of Data Stories! Thanks, Collibra! 🙏 #datastorytelling #datacatalog #datamanagement #datagovernance #aigovernace
