I really like these types of videos because a lot of times, content creators create series but they don't acknowledge the fact that the interface and the features change over the years. Keep up the good work!
New content for beginners is always welcome, as there are always new people coming to learn Power BI. Sorry Adam, had to dial playback speed down to 3/4 to get it all! Only makes you sound a tiny bit drunk. :)
Brilliant idea Adam .... Initially I thought... "Power BI.... for beginners? In 2024?"....few seconds later: "of course, why not" And with all evolutions had along the years....even looking at powerbi desktop from scratch now makes more sense than one might think!!
Yes! There are also new folks coming to Power BI all the time. Yes, there are a lot of experienced users, but we can't forget about the new folks either. 😁 Also, good to have a baseline for keeping current. Always some nuggets that people may not know about.
Nice thing about this is how it does the getting started thing with modern Power BI. Lots of things have changed since folks were making these kinds of videos, so it's really nice to see. One thing I noticed--Adam said "publish to the Power BI Service" and then when it was there, he called it "Fabric." Don't we publish to Fabric now?
Appreciate that! I agree a lot has changed, so good to have a refreshed video. And yes, even I am still having to re-train my brain. I'm so used to saying "Power BI Service". It's all Fabric. 😎💚
Very helpful thanks, I had to pause a few times but I don't think that's a problem with the pacing. I would have liked to download a sample excel file and follow along with you doing a few things.
great! just what I need I need power bi to build sales statistics for my book Digging for Wordly treasures... with a total of 2 sales in china, its time to get those graphs/visualizations going!
Love the short snd sweet video. Just wished power bi dashboard gave us easy way to make old type tabular reports. I am currently using report builder to make paginated reports and the interface is really unfriendly for newbie like me.
Paginated reports are the way to go for that. Power BI Report is meant more for exploration and interactivity. Not tabular type reports. there are new capabilities in the service though to make creating a tabular/paginated report easier and quicker. Not sure if you have checked that out and if that meets your needs.
Hi This is Rajesh I have a question regarding the text functions Q. we have a full name lets say "Andrew Mark Miller" How can we extract the middle name from this name using dax Could you please answer this
Hey Adam (or whoever is managing the comments ;-P). Embedding reports in Sharepoint with the Power BI web part forces either a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio. Given PBI canvas can be set to anything and therefore, reports may not necessarily conform to those dimensions, is there a workaround to embed reports without creating white space?
Hi Adam , loved this new version explanation. Could you help me with the date slicer(between) - default to Preweek(mon -sun) but the user should be able to select any date range. I tried creating a new column to my calendar table where it shows 'preweek' and I added that as a visual filter to the slicer. In my published report the start date and end date on slicer is not changing Automatically(next week).
Automatic with the slicers can be tricky. I thought Patrick had a video on this topic but I couldn't find it. A bit much to go into in a video comment. We'll look at doing a video on it.
I still dont get if i need dimensions and different source tables together, since my excel file is without foreign keys and just sales information, but every customer is distinct but there is different purchases made
Hi! I'm just dropping by to say that I appreciate the hard work that you've done on this video. I'm just getting started with Power BI and I can say that things have already changed over the years (I've watched other popular videos, and they look totally different from the Power BI version I've installed on my laptop). It's a bit overwhelming to be honest, but I know I need time and practice to get things going for me. Hopefully, get a job as well as soon as possible. Awesome content! Subbed as well. :)
For Copilot, it requires a workspace backed by capacity. F64 / P1 or higher. Outside of Copilot, it depends on what your business goals are. If you are just focused on a Power BI report, a Pro license may be all you need. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/copilot-introduction
I'm completely new to Power BI. At 6:38 in your video, my Excel brain tells me that when you delete the three name columns, that the data in the new column Full Name created will be removed also. How does that work?
@MollyLorentz-l6c your not deleting the columns just effectively hiding them so the calculated column full name is still pulling from original data, just means the other columns aren't available for you to use in the bi report.
Hi Adam, I am struggling with API (Freshdesk) data to get it in Power BI, I am new to API so I have an API link but it does not return the data, just inform it's 9448 bytes. Could you help me?
Could you please answer me this question. I have a doubt in this I have a folder which contains 3 CSV files named products, customers, orders and I want to import all these CSV files into power bi at a time without combining How can we do this? Cab we do this get data> folder In power bi
While you could do this with the Folder connector, it's a bit cumbersome and not really what it's meant for. I'd personally just do them one at a time using the CSV connector. These will end up as 3 different queries within Power Query and will land as 3 different tables within the semantic model.
The way you explain is like everyone gas to go and become a developer and publish datasets to share reports with others. That's really wrong. But your content is quite good.
To use Copilot do you need a premium content licence type, I currently have a premium per-user licence but cannot seem to use Copilot with this licence type.
The use of Copilot requires the workspace be backed by capacity. That can be a Power BI Premium Capacity or a Fabric Capacity. Premium Per User will not cover Copilot. Specifically an F64 / P1 or higher SKU. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/copilot-introduction

Agreed that there are always new folks coming. and haha no worries on the sound of my voice at that speed.

Hi adam could we get the adventure works data to practice with?
wow loving this. i need to learn more in pax i guess to help with calendar. this vid repeats and repeats. is it bunch combined?
could you link this sample data for practice purposes?
great! just what I need I need power bi to build sales statistics for my book Digging for Wordly treasures... with a total of 2 sales in china, its time to get those graphs/visualizations going!
Super interesting and nice video but where i can download the Data File ?
all my keys and FKs are stings. There is nothing i can do to change that. How much will that change performance?

Great refresher, Adam. Brilliant job 👏🏻
Thanks for sharing. Really informative.
That fish animation visual was amazing 😂
Where can I find the data sample?
Brilliant - AI, what are licensing required to utilize complete all the functionality

Waw it so great refreshment
Q can I use the desktop on Mac?
The CoPilot feature at the end 😮
Great, 😊

I wish there was an organised powerBi course for a beginner.
Something like zero to hero 😢
