Using PowerBI After 2 Years Away - What Should I Know!?

Hey folks,

 

I stopped using PowerBI about 2 years ago due to a change in job. I am now starting with a new employer who uses it - I've loaded up desktop and it looks...kinds of the same as it did when I left it in 2022.

 

Just wondering what people think are the key changes I should be aware of. Happy to Google / YouTube these, so don't need massive explanations, but it would be great to know what the most significant things I should be aware of now I'm back in pbix game 😄

 

Many thanks,

 

Sam

Everything is about Fabric these days instead of Power BI. I am attaching my PBIX where I have the releases tracked through April of this year. Very easy to see what features have been released in the last 2 years. Attached below signature.
