My organization is set up on Google Workspace. I am a data analyst there. My CEO told me to shut down Power BI as it is a Microsoft tool and cannot be linked to log in and set up authentication via the employees' Google accounts. I need to present to him why it is secure and why he should not shut it down. The main concern is security. It currently uses a mail and password login, and for authentication, everyone should have a Microsoft account. Is there any way to link access to Power BI with the organization's account and also ensure that it is secure and monitored? submitted by /u/Fresh-Th ..read more

Hi everyone, I have been tasked with creating an interactive site plan for a housing site using bi. I am wanting to add a layer over an image of the site (200 ish plots) which can be colour coded for site status (completed, reserved, available etc...) and potentially hover over for more information such as sales price. I have tried using the Synoptic panel visual but the performance over 10 entities is terrible. Does anyone have a suggestion of visuals /ideas I could test? Thanks in advance Imogen submitted by /u/True_Ad_3522 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'd prefer not to display measures with zero results. How would I go about excluding them, without manually filtering them out? https://preview.redd.it/rr030rd9xrwc1.png?width=625&format=png&auto=webp&s=d17940c53f6dc9ec96beb0e44aff66978e73907a submitted by /u/Minimum-Pattern-5627 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I would like to give the users the option to filter by Reporting Month, YTD and Month to Date. I'd also like to give them the option to see trends over time (current calendar year only to a number of reasons/long story). Would appreciate any feedback on "design", content, color scheme etc. Also, I've had some requests for cards to be included, but not much detail as they themselves don't know what they want... I'm worried I've got too many cards on the first report and that they're all over the place. What are your thoughts? https://preview.redd.it/eme2307dqrwc1.png?width=1264&format ..read more

I have a measure that I'm using to hide the rows in a visual if a slicer value isn't selected. The output of the measure is 0, which is correctly displayed on the card. When I go to use it to filter the visual, it shows everything. I added the measure to the table, and as you can see the value is 1. How can it be 1 in my table, but 0 in the card? I'm so confused. Can someone please guide me? submitted by /u/shirpars [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I already have a dashboard for Quality scores for my department. I think I need help if I am using the correct viz for the dataset. Any thoughts are welcome. https://preview.redd.it/vswbyrvispwc1.png?width=1305&format=png&auto=webp&s=34896a881052341be203efe53cce867ba159158d submitted by /u/1214siege [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have created "golden" semantic models for different business areas that each have 10+ reports hanging off them. My main concern is that anyone that has access to the workspace could download the semantic model, make unauthorised changes and then republish, therefore breaking downstream reports. Are there access permissions where I can prevent this from happening? Is this a process issue i.e. I just have to trust that my analysts won't do anything monumentally stupid like this? I still need them to be able to live connect to the semantic model to build their own reports. submitted by /u/Par ..read more

hello, i have a password protected excel file in sharepoint that I want to use as my source for power bi. i don't think it is possible to refresh the dataset in the PBI service with this type of source.. can anyone confirm? any workarounds? submitted by /u/OwnFun4911 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

The company I work for is currently in the middle of migrating from Great Plains to Business Central. I work in the Finance Department and in charge of all reporting. I’ve been experimenting with the Business Central Connector in PBI Desktop. Even with little records loaded in BC, importing data seems slow. Also, I found I am having trouble getting financial data where an account has two dimensions. Financial records with two dimensions duplicate records and this duplicates the dollar amount. What is Best Practice in extracting data from BC to building BI reports? Does IT need to pull data in ..read more
