How to fix direct Query authentication delegation issues with Power Bi Report Server with Edge and Chrome

H

With the end of the IE support for Power Bi (and in general tbh), companies are scrambling finally to move their users from the legacy browser to modern ones; it was about time if you ask me. However, there’s an edge case where using anything but IE is not as straightforward as it could be; in my case Power Bi RS worked fine for any report in any browser, except with direct query reports...

Quick Tip: How to find the address of the PowerBI local tabular instance

Q

Super quick tip, I’ve seen this done via CMD or DaxStudio, but not via PowerShell (probably because I haven’t searched so much since I’ve done it myself), but here we are: I’m sure you know that PowerBI tabular models are 100% the same as SSAS tabular models, hence you can use SSMS to connect to a PowerBI Tabular model as if it was SSAS (because it is), to do whatever you...

A PowerBI Report for the COVID19 Emergency in Italy

A

As you may know, I’m from Italy; at the moment we’re experiencing the most difficult medical emergency in our history due to the new coronavirus.

Creating a Report and distributed Alerts for PowerBI Scheduled Refreshes in your organization (starring Powershell, PowerBi & Microsoft Flow)

C

The Issue If you ever tried to manage a PowerBI Tenant, you may have come across this problem: A part the PowerBI success comes from the ability for BI people to self-serve the data it needs, you just provide them with the datasources that they need and they can go around creating all the reports that they want; this is also an issue when trying to manage the tenant, because by default the owner...

How to implement a Linear Regression Prediction in a PowerBI report using Python

H

Machine learning is the buzzword of the moment, so I wanted to talk about that sweet ML here too. For a project that I’m working on, I’ve been experimenting on basic ML prediction algorithms, in this instance I’ll show you a basic POC on how ML can be integrated right into PowerBI in a serviceable manner. It’s ugly but it works The data I just needed some whatever data to...

A SQL Server Permission Report in PowerBI

What it is and how to get it When working with SQL Instances that have lots of databases, sensitive data and equally lots of users/applications that accesses those, it can get pretty troublesome to keep track of every user, for every database, down to the single column/action.That’s why I developed this report, in orde to be able to quickly determine the security status of each object or...

A PowerBI Report for SQL Server Agent Jobs

A

As my “community service” this month, I’ve worked on this neat (I hope!) PowerBI report (and companion stored procedure) to easily analyze all what you wanted to know about your Agent Jobs execution, but were too afraid to ask to the standard Reports in SSMS. This is part of the FirstRespondersKit toolkit, which I encourage you to check out. Installation: Install the...

How to populate a PowerBI Dataset from a REST API, using PowerBI’s REST API, without any code (via Microsoft Flow)

H

I was wondering if PowerBI could be used for reporting on Live data, not coming from my Database using DirectQuery (or the new super neat composite mode) with with a Streaming Dataset, which I never used before, so, I got to work. The Proof Of Concept is to take live data from Cryptocurrency value using REST API and pushing them into a PowerBI report.I’m using the API from...
