Who likes IntelliSense? I do.
Who likes Dataflows (cough - gen 1 only)? I do.

Well, we can have both, finally.

How long have these been out for?
I've only just realised, the only show up in the Fabric view, not when you select Power BI.

I've been doing some practice assessments this morning for certifications.
Some of the questions in the DP-700 seemed vague.
I thought I'd take a look at some of the other ones for comparison.
Some assessments have definitely had more effort put into their development than others.

I don't disagree that it's stupid to allow it to continue for so long. But they're trying to sell a product. What better way to get people hooked?
But you can't say that their wording in the warnings hasn't been clear enough.

If people get upset that their free "trial" isn't renewing until the end of time, um, well, hard luck.
If, on the other hand, you create a culture where people start assuming 'preview' features are safe to use because they've been in preview for so long, and then take away that feature. That's poor.

Oh, yep, that makes sense now.
I just noticed the old PBI logo after it.

What do you mean? They've reintroduced the bug where you're asked to log in to your account 15 times, just so you can get to the shit-show of an 'open' screen. What more do you want?

I did. They were really useful in some cases where Dataflows didn't have the performance needed.

I've been saying this for 3 years now. The login screens/process were designed by someone with one account.
And the double login bug is back in some tenants.

I've never liked the [bronze, silver, gold] medallion architecture naming.
I think [raw, refined, trusted] is better. (Sorts alphabetically too.)

What other options do you like?

I still prefer PQ but if I'm in a hurry, I use Bravo to build the date table. It has so many options and is obviously, really well thought out. But I don't think I'd ever build one in DAX from scratch. I think it typically comes down to language preference.

Deleting the calculated column and adding the new column with an identical name should work fine.

Gina is correct about the name being the reference point, it should have been the id in my opinion, then when the business decides they want to rename something, it would be easy to rename things.

The data colours may be the last thing I need to remove the need a "colour" table in every model. Really looking forward to that.

I'm always keen to offer input into the theme topic where I can. It's a massively under-utilised feature.
