The Numeric Range Parameter in Power BI is a powerful feature that allows users to interact with a variable through a slicer. This helps visualize and quantify different key values dynamically within reports. In this blog, we will explore how to create and use a Numeric Range Parameter to slice and analyze data effectively.

Did you know that Power BI report subscriptions don’t always respect RLS? In some scenarios, users might receive data they shouldn’t see! In my latest blog, I break down a real-world example and show how Dynamic Subscriptions can solve this issue.

Looking for governance across semantic models and reports? Need a programmatic solution to deploy Direct Lake (and other) semantic models and reports across workspaces and Lakehouses? Semantic Link Labs is the answer. Thanks to Michael Kovalsky and Markus Cozowicz for their efforts in creating this incredible library! In this article, we will review the Power BI architecture and output of a Fabric notebook that leverages Semantic Link Labs to programmatically deploy semantic models and reports across workspaces and schema-enabled Lakehouses, providing central governance.

In this blog, we will explore how to retain slicer selections between different bookmarks using the "Selected Visuals" option in Power BI.

DAX probably has hundreds of functions, however, several of them stand out. In this article, I picked the most useful ones for everyday use and grouped them by functionality. In this section, we will look closely at FILTER functions.

The Problem with Traditional Approval Hierarchies

Many organizations still operate under the illusion that requiring CFO or CEO approval equates to strong financial oversight. However, real-world cases of fraud and inefficiencies tell a different story. These hierarchical approvals:

• Create bottlenecks – Senior leaders are often overwhelmed with approvals, leading to delays and inefficiencies.
• Encourage superficial reviews – Executives rarely have time to deeply analyze each request, turning approvals into a formality.
• Do not effectively mitigate risk – Fraud often happens at executive levels, where transactions are approved under the guise of authority, bypassing real scrutiny.
• Give unchecked power to human bias – Approvals become a tool for reinforcing personal agendas, favoritism, and misallocation of company resources.
• Preserve budget control at the top – Budget allocation is the ultimate power in corporations, and those in senior roles are reluctant to relinquish control, even if AI can distribute resources more fairly and efficiently.

Instead of safeguarding company resources, traditional approval hierarchies often consolidate power among a few individuals who may have their own financial interests in mind.

In this blog, we will walk through the step-by-step process of calculating a cumulative sum by Product ID using a DAX measure in Power BI. This technique is particularly useful for tracking running totals in sales, revenue, or other numerical data over time.

Dynamic per recipient subscriptions is similar as dynamic subscriptions for paginated reports, we can now send a personalized version of a Power BI report to each individual recipient of an email subscription.These functionality allows the dissemination of unique views of the same report by applying specific filters based on individual user preferences, all seamlessly managed within a single subscription

Editing the json content in PBIP files seems to allow the setting of dynamic expressions in place of static property values - even if the Power BI UI does not provide an fx button. It seems any property can be set dynamically!

In this article, we would be learning how to add a gradient text in Power BI. A gradient is a smooth transition between two or more colors. Instead of displaying a solid color, a gradient blends multiple colors together in a seamless way (screenshot below).

At the moment, there isn't a straight forward way to have graident text in a textbox/shape or a card visual. We need to import an html code for it. Here's how we can do it. 

Appending queries in Power BI is a powerful feature that allows you to combine two or more data tables effortlessly. This is particularly useful when working with datasets that are split across multiple files or years. In this blog, we will walk through the process of appending two different queries using Power BI.

This post introduces accessibility concepts for Power BI and how to easily implement basic standards.

Power BI's latest game-changer is here: TMDL (Tabular Model Definition Language) is revolutionizing how we handle data modeling.
