February 15, 2022 83: Are We Building the Wrong Power BI Reports?
By far one of the most engaged conversations the guys have had:
We constantly evaluate if a report is "correct" or relevant for the users. When consumers come back and say it's confusing, does that mean the report is wrong? More so, is that a report problem or a people problem?
The guys dive into the ability to scope out and derive what makes a report wrong, and when does it start in the development process. You are going to enjoy this one!

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?
