    Ruth, I have enjoyed your content, and the recent interactivity at the end of the videos was nice. Perhaps one thing you could do is similar to what you were doing with charts before - show a chart (either current or past) and in the comments we can talk about was was good or bad about the way the data was presented. I feel that I always learn a lot about visualization from these types of posts/videos, and the more people commenting the better

    Hi Ruth,
    Whatever i have learned in Power BI till date is because of your videos and the tips and tricks which you have provided.
    Your videos are very informative and are used in most of the solutions which we have been working on.
    It really came as a shocker to me when I heard that you are going to stop the Power BI exam questions. Do not know why, but I am sure you would have evaluated before making such a decision.
    My suggestion of what we can have at the end of the video is
    Option 1 :Something on Visualizations. Perhaps some best practices or how can we make the visualization better. Some of us are unaware of the visualization tips and tricks.
    Option 2: Something related to real case studies you are working on. A small case study and what can be the possible solutions for this. For example, you share a dataset and we try to find the solution as there are multiple answers to a solution in Power BI. Can be done via Power Query, using different functions in DAX.
    Just random ideas. hope it helps.

  • @oliveroshea5765
    @oliveroshea5765 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great work Ruth! Thanks for all your effort for us!
    Another tip, not quite the same is that if you refresh your data and you want to revert back, you can always close Power Query without applying and then close the file.
    You should sit the exam!!

    Great Video Ruth,and Sad for the dicountinutity of Exam suppourt you really did great showing the suppourt and idea of challenge really smart. However,apprectiate your decision.
    Idea 1- suggest you can receive Power BI report Samples from community and discuss each video the good and bad of the received reports.also you can make a categorization for this so you can discuss a series of videos reports related to sales,then supply chain,then IT , etc.
    idea 2- Explore new Custom Visual every Video and examin Pros/Cons for each.

    6:30 thanks for you effort and the set of questions provided. It was a good discussion and help me a lot during my preparation time. Those 3 weekly help me a lot to study and pass the exam. Honestly, with your knowledge you will pass with a good rate. Take the exam any time, you don't need to study more 😉 la molas! One idea, what about a sort chart at the end of the video about one subject? People that what to continue studying with through this way can a subject or a question and you provide feedback. Or just maybe a final two minutes where you chat about something that you learnd recently related to the exam.
    Anyway, gracias por tu apoyo y estímulo. Creo que tiene muchas ideas que puedes explotar y generar más contenido. Besos.

    Hi Ruth, I think your question is very interesting. How about ending each VDOs with some tips, tricks on how to display grid/ chart/ graph in a more "story telling" way. Like what aspect we should do to improve visuals of charts ( I have seen many many reports which are badly displayed, cannot understand what message the author want us to get).

How about some dax refreshers.. some easy, some not so easy? And also some power query stuff.. Just today, I wanted to combine functions and wasn't sure how to go about it. and it took me a while to find the answer... but of course, you would have known that in a second!

  • @davidcadman3562
    @davidcadman3562 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks. Well I knew the first one! I think the disabling of filtering is quite nice. Sometimes I have to choose Edit Interactions a lot and disable filtering for the majority of vizs. Doing this is sometimes good, then I just have to actively enable filtering (rarely, if ever, x-highlighting) for specific combinations. It would be good to have this default behaviour at page-level. I agree that a viz level option of "you are not allowed to click me" would be good. ....... I thought you were going to announce your retirement from TH-cam at the end! Thankfully not.

    Sorry about the exam study session... I hope you didn't get in trouble... There was so much engagement with some element of competition (important because no sports now), and I was on a streak! I actually had gone through the prep books for 70-778 and 70-779 right before the announcement for transition to DA-100. I have been using your sessions to test myself to see if everything I had read have stuck (it hadn't...lol). What was the correct answer for Q29, anyway?
    Thank you so much for the effort you put into the 29 questions, Ruth!

    @scottschuler2234 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    An end of the videos idea: Each week you give a sample .pbix (or use the same one for all) and then present a desired DAX measure(s). It could go something like:
    Monday: Here's the problem we want to solve through DAX
    Wednesday: Tips for those who may be stuck
    Friday: Review answers submitted by users in the comments from Monday/Wednesday
    This could get people out of their DAX comfort zone and would help people find new solutions to their own problems.
