Non-linear parameter
I feel like parameters in Power BI are way under utilized! I’m not talking about the ones in Power Query now but rather the ones that used to be named “What-if”, before field parameters were added. Parameters are a great way to allow your report users the ability to...
Creating Popups in Power BI
