Welcome to Power Mates, the ultimate destination for tech enthusiasts, innovators, and anyone ready to unlock the full potential MS PowerPlatform and MS Fabric
Fabric Apps: build custom web apps backed directly by your semantic models. No export layer, no separate backend. AI coding agents Fabric data in one stack. For internal tooling at enterprise scale, this is worth a look. #MicrosoftFabric
Power Apps User Defined Types just hit GA.
Power FX finally accepts full records through user-defined functions — not just text & numbers.
Customer objects, addresses, API responses — strongly typed. Cleaner code.

Fabric Apps might be the sleeper announcement from Build this week. Visualization-as-code against any semantic model, deployed as a web app inside your Fabric tenant. No more Power BI report limits — just TypeScript, DAX, and Vega-Lite. #MicrosoftFabric#PowerBI
Most Fabric tenants I've seen have 40 workspaces with no owner assigned. Not a small problem when something breaks at 2am. That's the governance debt Tenant Scan was built to surface. thepowermates.com#MicrosoftFabric
What is the one Fabric governance setting you would fix first if you had a full tenant health report? For us it is always Export to Excel — on for the entire org by default, no audit trail. #MicrosoftFabric#FabricAdmin
What's the one Fabric feature that surprised you most in production — not in a demo, but when it actually hit real data at scale? Ours was Direct Lake refresh behavior on large models. #MicrosoftFabric
Power BI May update is out. The org app email snapshot is the quiet win — executives get scheduled report snapshots in their inbox, no Pro license required on the receiving end. Long time coming. #PowerBI#MicrosoftFabric
Every tenant we scan has the same surprises: service accounts nobody owns running critical flows, DLP gaps, production data sitting in the default environment. Tenant Scan catches these before they become incidents. thepowermates.com#PowerPlatform
Translytical Task Flows now support optional parameters — User Data Functions pre-fill inputs automatically. Sounds minor. It’s not. This is what makes Power BI write-back actually work in production without friction. #MicrosoftFabric#PowerBI
Still see enterprise teams cramming everything into one semantic model. One refresh, one version — makes sense until it doesn't. At scale, the right answer is almost always multiple focused models with composite relationships. #MicrosoftFabric#PowerBI
How many orphaned workspaces and unused semantic models are sitting in your Fabric tenant right now? Most enterprise admins genuinely don’t know. That’s the gap Tenant Scan was built for. thepowermates.com#MicrosoftFabric#FabricGovernance
Visual Calculations is GA. Running totals, moving averages, percent-of-parent — all scoped to the visual, not the semantic model. That's huge. Half the one-off measures cluttering enterprise models exist because this didn't exist. #MicrosoftFabric#PowerBI
We just dropped 7 Fabric Jumpstart shorts. The one that gets us every time: empty workspace → data, pipelines, notebooks, semantic model, live report in under 5 minutes. One command.

Most Power BI teams don't realize you can connect two published semantic models without moving data. DirectQuery over PBI datasets — one cross-model relationship, both stay governed, RLS on each side stays intact. Composite Models deserve more airtime. #PowerBI#MicrosoftFabric
