Times in BC – you didn’t know that!

I’m hearing you already say: “Natalie, a whole blog post about the stupid times? Are you kidding me, or do you want to waste my time, and yours?” – No, quite on the contrary! But after 17 years doing C/AL and AL, even I’ve just learned new details about it, so maybe you can learn something new as well

Creating a Time intelligence “External Tools” app for Power BI Desktop

With the release of the July 2020 version of Power BI desktop we can create tools that can interreact with the Power BI Desktop model directly using an external tool. With this interaction you can make changes to the model in a programmatic way. There are so opportunities things this will open up. You can think of a tool that would allow you to edit the model like Tabular Editor or query like DAX Studio (which both already work as external tools).

Solving a Complex Time Problem In Power BI

I was delivering some training last week for a customer in Sydney and they participants had an interesting problem where they needed to be able to report on a rolling time window. Think of it a bit like Rolling 12 Months Sales, or average weekly sales over a rolling 4 week period, but instead this problem uses a rolling time window of just a few hours. I have decided to demonstrate how to solve this problem using my own solar electricity data and build a rolling average 3 hourly kWh consumption.

Time intelligence solved with modelling and crossfilter instead of DAX measures

A while ago I came across this interesting time intelligence solution that doesn’t use DAX measures to do time intelligence but rather solves it through the model. The pattern was created by the great Greg Galloway from Artis Consulting and I am blogging this with his permission.
