I just noticed there is a new build of Power BI Desktop that was silently released (not prompting to update, no info in blog). It's dated 16 Jan 2019, but Options/Diagnostics shows: 2.65.5313.1381 64-bit (December 2018). By my count that's at least the 4th build released labelled "December 2018" - some kind of record.

Just minor fixes. I usually see at least 2 silent releases per month with the Windows Store update version that happen in the background.
DAX is for Analysis. Power Query is for Data Modeling

MCSA: BI ReportingYeah sure. It's just that Power BI is the only product I've ever worked with where this happens - unannounced and undocumented. Their colleagues in Office 365 are the opposite.
