When to Use SUM() vs SUMX()
It has been 3 years since I first wrote an article about SUM() vs SUMX() and a year since I wrote the first version of this article.

Calling The Power BI REST API From Microsoft Flow, Part 2: Refreshing A Dataset When a Data Source Changes
For a while now I’ve had an idea stuck in my head: wouldn’t it be cool to build a Power BI solution where a user could enter data into an Excel workbook and then, as soon as they had done so, they could see their new data in a Power BI report?
