June 14, 2022 117: Asking the Right Data Questions and Asking The Data Questions Right
Based off this BRILLANT article by Enrico Bertini, we are focusing on the one skills you never thought you needed when you got into data: Being able to efficently and effectively talk to people, get the information you need, and translating a business problem into something you can measure (think "we need to see who is at risk over time" - we need to know how to measure 'At Risk' and what over time means, while also keeping users engaged).

June 09, 2022 116: Is The Power BI Platform Better Than the Classic Microsoft BI Architecture Stack?
Today we are looking back on how the BI Architecture has changed - the tools of old (SSIS, Analysis Services) vs the "business" tools (dataflows, data marts).

Is the #PowerBI stack (not including Azure) BETTER than it was?
Thanks to Marcus Wegener for the inspiration https://lnkd.in/gp64TiKC

June 07, 2022 115: The Importance Of Push-Back on Power BI Reports
Anyone who creates Power BI reports for a living knows the dance of the request and the value. Does every request deserve time and effort?
Thus the importance of pushing back. The guys discuss the why on evaluating requests that should be pushed back, how to resolve the conflict of the value based on the BI Team / Stakeholder, and what should we do to create a standard for pushing back effectively. The name of the game is value: our time should be spent on actionable, business-driven value reports and projects.

Forecasting - Not what is pre-baked in Power BI (like the line chart feature), 1) do we need to think more about projections for our users in reporting and 2) should we rely on built in features?
Why is forecasting not as apparent in our metrics, what is holding us back, and what can we do to better create forecasting in our data?

About Explicit Measures Podcast

From the publisher's feed

Hosted by Mike Carlo, and Tommy Puglia, the Explicit Measures Podcast is a Power BI focused show that is like being around a Power BI Pro’s Water Cooler. With so many available resources in the community that focuses on the “how” in Power BI (how to do Drill Through, how to use DAX, etc.,), the Explicit Measures Podcast is all around the WHY. Why use a particular feature, does it make sense for my users?
