Calculate Totals in Power BI: Using Iterators in DAX

The total value that you see in a table is not actually SUM of all values in that column, it is, in fact, the calculation, when there is no filter. This, however, might not be the calculation that we want sometimes. we might want this value to be the sum of values of that column Read more about Calculate Totals in Power BI: Using Iterators in DAX[…]

Time Series Anomaly Detection in Power BI using Cognitive Service and Power Query

I am excited about this blog post, this is based on the New service in Cognitive Service name “Anomaly Detection” which is now in Preview. I recorded a video about how it works in cognitive service https://youtu.be/7ZOtZDbn6gM.  However, I am going to talk about how to use it in Power BI. In this post first, a Read more about Time Series Anomaly Detection in Power BI using Cognitive Service and Power Query[…]

For example, if you have a slicer for product colour, and then you select both “Black”, and “Blue” the result would be all records that have “Black”, OR “Blue”. Of course, you won’t Read more about Slicer with AND condition in Power BI[…]

Change the Source of Power BI Datasets Dynamically Using Power Query Parameters

Parameters in Power Query are useful for many scenarios when you want to do something dynamic in the data transformation process. I have previously explained how helpful they are in creating a custom function. In this article, I am showing you another useful way of using Parameters to create dynamic datasets, that you can change Read more about Change the Source of Power BI Datasets Dynamically Using Power Query Parameters[…]

Enhance the Card Visual in Power BI with Conditional Formatting

The conditional formatting can be used in many visuals in Power BI, and I have explained an example of doing it in table visual. This feature is also available in the Card Visual in Power BI, However, I have seen a very few people using it.
