When a feature goes into public preview that should be the final stage before a full release, so it should be clear from the roadmap when we can expect full release. Yes, things can change, yes things may not work properly and may change... But ROADMAP! #powerbi #datamodel #dax #udf
Such a can of worms this week. Preview feature should not be used in production... But that requires clarity on when features will go GA after preview. UDFs are being pushed by many but they go against Microsoft's own Adoption Framework... #PowerBI #UDF #DataDrivenBusiness

Bit more of a technical one this week. Trying to gently introduce and demonstrate context in Power BI. As a foundational concept it seems simple, but then you realise it is a rabbit hole... I hope this proves useful to people. #PowerBI #PowerBITraining #DataModelling #context
