Any parties have a policy to return Wellington wind levels to normal? This shit is getting ridiculous

Logged in to do a #PowerBI test for a job interview . First question SQL. Logged out. Sent email: Sorry, I don't do these. Happy to walk through my advanced Power BI projects in person, but I find tests like this dehumanizing, and often irrelevant to the position or tech stack I actually use.

Time to remind you of Bluesky's favourite Romanian language fact: In Romanian, when someone throws stupid tantrums hurting their own interest just to be an a hole, we say they "hit their own testicles with an adze (carpentry tool). The Romanian word for adze is Tesla.

I think they should do a commercial where a guy is about to tell his kids a bedtime story and then his boss calls on the phone and is like "I need that report NOW, I'm meeting with the VP tomorrow" and the guy pushes an AI button and it says "third quartprer report sent!" and tells his kid a story

One of my favourite fun vinyl records for spooky season. Nightmare Before Christmas, in the animated print edition. It's a double album and each side has a different set of little cute animations.

TIL the [AlternateResult] arg in SELECTEDVALUE() returns BLANK and not [AlternateResult] if a user has selected everything in the #PowerBI slicer who's column you are referencing. You need a COALESCE to catch this. =COALESCE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( SomeTable[SomeColumn], "FOOBAR" ), "FOOBAR" )

If I wrap a COALESCE around my SELECTEDVALUE measure to turn BLANK into -1 it returns TRUE consistently regardless of whether all Slicer items are unselected or all selected, as expected. But I don't understand why the COALESCE is needed, as SELECTEDVALUE should not return BLANK.

Actually I think a Type Coercion issue is being introduced by an IF statement that returns a numerical value (-1) if nothing is selected, otherwise passes through TRUE or FALSE as selected. A different branch of the IF is executed if slicer cleared vs all items selected. I don't understand why.

Trying to work out if it is possible to create "Analyze in Excel" templates based on #PowerBI semantic model that has RLS kick in in BEFORE the user views the file, and it seems the answer is "no". i.e. any user will see a "snapshot" of all the data until they enable content.

I wonder if there is a pinocchio add out there somewhere which shows Drump’s nose growing to unbelievable lengths. Like, Artemis see it from the moon; voyager sees it rushing past as it grows; it smashes through other systems, then galaxies, then comes all the way back to Earth from the other side.

If I ran the Democratic Party ad campaigns, I would just air clips like this superimposed with the words “why does he think he can lie to you?” Or “does he think we believe this?”
