Show Values Inside a Power BI Donut Chart ๐ฏ August 2026
Power BI Donut Charts just got a useful upgrade. In the Power BI August 2026 update, you can now show a value directly in the center of a Donut Chart without needing to overlay a separate Card visual. Center value for Donut Chart (Generally Available) Donut charts can now display a value in the center. Enable the center value option and it shows up right in the middle. You control the details in the formatting pane: value format, display units, and font. You can add an optional label above or below the value, place an image above or below it, or change the background fill or image of the center. If you need something other than the total, just add a custom measure to the center value in the formatting pane. The center value stays in sync with your data. Filtering, cross-highlighting, drill-down, and selecting a slice all update it automatically. And because it lives inside the visual, it stays aligned when you resize the report, view it on mobile, or open it on a dashboard. It also works with screen readers. To add a center value, select your donut chart, open the formatting pane, and turn on Center value.Claude Built My Power BI Dashboard. Here's how.
I sketched a rough wireframe of a dashboard I wantedโno DAX, no data model, just a layout idea. Then I handed it to Claude AI connected to Power BI Desktop through MCP and watched it build the actual dashboard: creating the semantic model, writing every measure from scratch, and turning a static sketch into a working, interactive report. This is the wireframe-to-dashboard workflow in full โ how Claude reads a visual mockup, maps it to real fields and calculations, and produces DAX measures on its own without me writing a single line.

Fabric Monday 109: Identifying and Converting Direct Lake Type
Direct Lake now has TWO flavors โ and most people don't even realize it. But what if you inherit a semantic model you didn't build? How do you know which type it is? ๐ Identify which Direct Lake flavor a semantic model is using ๐ Convert from Direct Lake over SQL Endpoint to Direct Lake over OneLake No rebuild required. It's all in the TMDL. ? Which Direct Lake flavor are you using today โ and did you choose it deliberately? watch?v=T4DxjuqoynYACCRINT & ACCRINTM DAX Functions Explained | Power BI

This is one of those features that exists before most people realize it exists. A very new capability in Microsoft Fabric now allows Direct Lake semantic models to run in mixed (composite) mode โ and that changes the game. Iโve just published a video where I show how to do it step by step. But hereโs why this matters ๐ โก Why combining Direct Lake + Composite Models is powerful ๐น Aggregations finally make sense with Direct Lake Pre-aggregated Import tables can accelerate high-level queries while keeping detail in Direct Lake ๐น Performance where it matters most Hot paths hit in-memory aggregations, cold paths stay in the lake โ best of both worlds ๐น More flexible modeling patterns Youโre no longer forced into a single storage mode decision for the entire model ๐น Scalability without duplicating everything Keep large fact tables in OneLake while selectively importing only what adds value ๐น A smoother transition path Ideal for evolving existing Import or Direct Lake models without redesigning everything The video focuses purely on how to implement this, but the implications go far beyond the demo. watch?v=gwmXwtVYwy8Mastering your PL-300 Certification : Your Gateway to Power Bi Expertise
