I can across your website the other day. Very impressive! I run a business with 3 staff based in Penrose. We do locational based analytics (GIS) for a range of customers (Auckland Council is just one) around NZ. If you ever have a requirement on any of your BI projects for assistance with locational data and analytics please get in touch.
I have been following for quite some time and I am really impressed with your work.
I am a rookie data analyst in the financial services sector and I want to be the very best at this but I am just starting and I have loads to learn which can be a bit intimidating.
I want to use powerbi to wow my bosses but there are so many courses online and most are mostly summaries. I would appreciate if you could mentor me by directing me to the right tools, lectures, lessons so I can be the best cos I am a bit concerned and confussed at the moment. I will appreciate any recommendations
Thanks for your very kind feedback.
I strongly recommend you to start with Power BI Essentials self-paced training. Or Power BI instructor-led training. the first one costs less, and it is a detailed training which lead you into Advanced DAX, Power Query, and Data Visualization training.
I’m just wondering if by subscribing the Power BI Essentials self-paced training, would it also allow us to contact you directly for any clarifications or questions regarding the material as well?
Hi Reza,
As i am in the process of learning Power BI security lessons,unfortunately the screenshots in the portal are not visible at all.Could you please re-verify it once again?
because the content is very much valuable to learn the tricks and tips given by you guys.Really it’s fantastic work.All the best and will keep on waiting for your new topics.
I just wanted to say that even though I’m just getting started with all the helpful information on this site. I’ve been really blown away. I was feeling overwhelmed as I have 22 days to get a PBiX dashboard together, but your site has given me hope and motivation to get it done. Cheers!
You and your team have built an amazing repository of knowledge here which has surely taken a lot of time and effort. Thank you for making this available!
Can I ask how you find the time to work (visiting clients, building models/reports etc), manage a business, study & keep up with tech, blog so much, sleep and still have personal time?
I cannot comprehend how to manage time in a way that would give enough to accomplish what you have done here!
Or do you have a Delorean?!
Thanks for your kind words, it took and takes a lot of time of course as you said 🙂
Well, in order to create such a repository, you need to cut down some of the billing time. That is what we do actually. It is a big sacrifice 🙂
Cheers

Hi Reza,
You have a nice range of content in the book ‘Pro Power Bi Architecture’ – thanks for this and other resources you have made available. I see there is a new 2019 paperback version – when will the Kindle Edition receive these 2019 updates?
Cheers.
I just wanted to say my thanks! Your site and the free PDFs have been so helpful in the ever evolving world of Power BI. Anything I search related to Power BI, shows up your site link on the first result page after Microsoft.
Hi Reza,
big fan of your works and great job with shaping a community of professionals around your solid skill set.
quick Q, I have a pbix file with data source to a sql server through direct query. sql code in direct query is greyed out and can’t retrieve the script neither in design nor in query editor mode.
Is it possible to read that code at all? if so, I appreciate some hint or direction please.
Hi Afshin
Thanks 🙂
You should be able to go to Advanced Editor of that query and see the entire M script. a part of that script should be the SQL script.
Cheers

I came across your portal around 4 months ago and I have been following it since then. The material available in your website is great and contextual to solve the issues faced while developing dashboards or writing DAX.
Hi Reza,
Question about your Power BI Snapshot tool.
I need to be able to consume the data in the snapshots. We are looking to create a report of all the changes that occurred overnight. Is it possible to store the snapshots on a folder in a shared drive and then use the folder as a data source that refreshes everyday? Your examples show that each snapshot is its own dataset on the service, which would require a manual modification to add the new dataset to the PBIX.

Hi Pavan,
Thanks for your comment.
Can you please mention which page you mean by “screenshots in the portal” so we can fix it?

Hi Amy
yes, other export locations can be possible as long as accessible through internet (Dropbox, OneDrive, etc)
