2024 Week 10 | Power BI: DAX-less Reporting!

I also had a little fun with Microsoft Designer for the images. If you haven’t had a chance to play around with this new AI design tool I recommend you give it a try! Dataviz isn’t always the best place for fancy images, but there’s a time and a place for everything!

*Visual calculations are only available in the February 2024 build or later
