I've been working on #PowerBits (a collection of #PowerShell scripts for #PowerBI 📊 #Admins) recently, and I just made a minor breakthrough. 💪😎👍
One of the biggest missing features of the Power BI #RESTAPIs right now is the ability to export a #Dataset as a #PBIX file. Of course, you can export a #Report as a PBIX file, and if that Report is bound to a Dataset, then the Dataset will be included with the Report when you export it. However, if the Dataset you need to export doesn't have a Report bound to it (I've started calling this a #BareDataset), then the #RESTAPI can't help you. That Dataset can only be exported manually from the Power BI Service using a web browser. Yuck! 🤮
To solve this problem:
1. Find and select a target #BareDataset
2. Upload a #BlankReport to the same #Workspace
3. Re-bind the blank Report to the bare Dataset
4. Export the blank Report as a PBIX file
5. Delete the blank Report from the WorkspaceStep 1 Complete (mostly) 😅:

Hey #PowerBI peeps, I'll be on #ToolTalk with Artur König and @mthierba on Tuesday, March 21st.
We'll be talking about a little #ExternalTool I wrote for #PowerBIDesktop called #PbiToolsWatchPS, which launches a #PowerShell window running #pbitools in #WatchMode on the current #pbix file. The purpose of this little tool is to minimize the effort and number of steps necessary to #commit changes to Power BI #reports and #datasets into a proper #VersionControl system like #GitHub, #AzureDevOps, etc.
Please join us #LIVE on Tuesday, March 21st, give us your thoughts about the current state of #CICD and #DevOps / #DataOps for Power BI, and tell us about your favorite #ToolsOfTheTrade!

But the phone app on #Android can do that too, right?If that #Tasker is what I think it is, I have a similar app that I use, #Macrodroid. I like it. Actually paid for the premium version. But I don't use it for call screening. Should I? 🤔

I've been using #Tabby (formerly #Terminus) as my main #Terminal app for a while, and I've customized it quite a bit, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite #TabbyTweaks.
1. A #PowerShell script that launches Tabby, waits for its #MainWindowHandle to appear, then hides it using #ShowWindowAsync #Win32 #API (see #GitHub link below)
2. Docking setting enabled (I keep mine docked to the left edge of my main display)
3. Ctrl+` hotkey mapped to "toggle (show/hide) terminal window"
4. Custom #PowerShellCore, #WindowsPowerShell, #CMD, #WSL, and #SSH profiles (both admin and non-admin)
5. #OhMyPosh running a slightly modified #froczh themeMy "Start-TabbyHidden.ps1" script: https://github.com/JamesDBartlett3/PoshBits/blob/main/Start-TabbyHidden.ps1

My AI collaborator, Cray, named themself, generated their own pronouns, and built a PowerShell module for my MiniDisc player while I slept. No, really.
I wrote a blog article about the whole setup; the collaboration paradigm, the "git airlock" security framework, and why "capability is cheap, but actually paying attention isn't."

I bought my first MiniDisc device (Sony MZ-R55 💽) with my employee discount at Circuit City in November, 1999. I was already the privileged owner of an Aiwa shelf stereo with 3-CD changer, dual tape deck, and TOSLINK optical output, so I was able to create seamless digital mixes of tracks from my favorite albums and artists *long* before anyone I knew had even heard of burning a CD, much less done it themselves.

The FDA has rescinded COVID-19 vaccine approval for healthy adults, but there's a BIG loophole in this stupid new rule, and it's definitely worth a look, because you might still be eligible.
If you meet *any* of the criteria on this list (it's *much* broader than you'd think), then you are exempt from the new rule:
https://www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/clinical-care/underlying-conditions.htmlWhen you fill out the vaccine consent form, answer "Yes" to the question about underlying health conditions, and you're good to go.

Good morning, Microsoft Fabric and Power BI people!
Today is the 2nd anniversary of my very first blog post, and to commemorate this special occasion, I just posted a new article in the Data Dojo Power BI Community of Practice series:
https://datavolume.xyz/2025/03/21/DataDojo-PowerBI-CommunityOfPractice-06.html
This one is about a new Data Dojo format that we call "Office Hours & Coffee Lounge."

Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, I hereby present to you the long-awaited Data Dojo Power BI Report Template! Check out the article, download the template, take it for a spin, and let me know what you think!

Had a moment similar to this recently with one of my kitties: #AleisterMeowley the #DevonRex.The camera flash makes him much more visible than he actually was. The back of that closet is so dark, the only way I could tell he was back there was because I could see his glowing eyes.

Great question! "Need" probably isn't the right word. "Strongly desire" or "greatly prefer" would more accurate.The reason is that I have lots of different devices with different port types. Some of my newer devices only have USB-C ports, while my older devices only have USB-A ports, and I'd really like to have just "one key to rule them all," so to speak.
I know that I could buy a little USB-A/C adapter dongle and keep that on the same keychain with the MFA key, but that introduces a degree of fragility that I'd prefer to avoid if possible.
That being said, if I found a hardware MFA key with all of the features I listed except for USB-C, then I'd happily accept the dongle compromise, because most of my devices (even the old ones) support Bluetooth, so I'd still have that as a backup option in case the dongle fails.
