Here are photos of each city where I had #RADACAD #training #course on #Microsoft #Fabric and #PowerBI plus #workshop #Preconference conference presentations. #FabricatingTheWorldOneCityAtATime 16 cities, 17 events These are only public in-person courses. They do not include those private sessions that I ran for customers (which are much more than this), the speaking gigs at user groups, data Saturdays, and conferences. Including those all would not fit in one post. I met many wonderful people in this #WorldTour, and I am thankful for each one of them making their way to my courses. It is not finished yet. I am still on conference trips in the USA and working on the upcoming #Difinity conferences in #Auckland and #Sydney

For episode #5 of the #FabricInsider, I sat down with @_christianWade — the man who calls himself 𝐌𝐫. 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐲 — PM for Power BI Semantic Models at Microsoft. And this episode will blow your mind. And that is just one part of what we covered: 🔐 OneLake Security — and why it changes how you think about data access ⚡ DirectLake on OneLake vs. DirectLake on SQL — they are not the same thing 🔀 Composite models mixing Direct Lake and Import — what works, what doesn't 👤 User-context-aware calculated columns — UserPrincipalName, UserCulture, CustomData — on the fly or pre-calculated? 📝 TMDL on the web — and why every semantic model developer should be using it 🤖 AI agent building a full semantic model live — Mr. Clicky Clicky Draggy Droppy didn't click a single thing 😄 Full episode with demos throughout.

Power BI Date Slicer and Date Picker are getting a full makeover in 2026 🗓️ Straight from the Microsoft product team @DataZoePowerBI — a proper calendar-style date picker, a revamped date slicer, and a cohesive modern slicer family.

Power BI is finally getting "Set as Landing Page." @DataZoePowerBI Right-click on a page → Set as Landing Page → Done. No more navigating back to page 1 before hitting Publish. No more team checklists. No more reopening the report just to republish from the right page. Small feature. Huge relief. ▶️ youtube.com/shorts/JLrwr9Wyu… #PowerBI #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBITips #FabricInsider #DataAnalytics #BusinessIntelligence

The Power BI Card Visual updates and Fixed sizes for grids youtube.com/shorts/kEqq8z1KS… In this clip from my interview with @DataZoePowerBI (Feature PM at Microsoft) #PowerBI #PowerBITips #DataVisualization #MicrosoftFabric #CardVisual #PowerBIDesktop #FabricInsider #PowerBIUpdates

Your Power BI report now speaks every language. Automatically. No complex workarounds. No multiple reports. No hacks. The new User-Context-Aware Calculated Column in Power BI changes everything for multi-lingual reporting. One DAX function — USERCULTURE() — detects who's viewing the report and serves them translated values automatically. Right from the semantic model. One model. Every language. Zero friction. I just published a full video walking you through exactly how to build this — from model design to a working multi-lingual Power BI report. #PowerBI #DAX #MicrosoftFabric #SemanticModel #PowerBITips #MultiLingual #DataTranslation #USERCULTURE #PowerBIDeveloper #BusinessIntelligence #DataAnalytics #RADACAD #PowerBI2026 #DataModeling #MicrosoftPowerBI 🎥 Watch the full video here: youtu.be/attOboV4ZO8

We rebuilt the design of the #RADACAD website after almost 8 years. This was on my to-do list for such a long time. Finally, the technology allowed me to do it fast; we got help from #Claude #LLM #AI and some magic from Mahshid Nabati from our team, and here it is, blazing fast performance and a new look all in one.

Data integration is silently killing your analytics project. 🚨 youtube.com/shorts/5XXbMi_9p… Month 1: "We brought the sales data in." Month 3: "We brought inventory in." Month 12: "We've integrated everything." — but still no reports. No insights. No value. And then the project gets cancelled. The fix? Don't minimize integration. Minimize the time before value is visible. Watch this short video to see how modern tools like Microsoft Fabric can help you break the black hole cycle.
