It can be tedious to check what visual interactions have been configured in a Power BI report. If you have a lot of bookmarks, this becomes even more important. If you do this manually, you have to turn on Edit Interactions and select each visual to see what interactions it is emitting to the other visuals on the page. But there is a better way! Listing visual interactionsYou can use a a bit of Python in a Fabric notebook and the Semantic Link Labs library to return the list of modified interactions in a DataFrame. I take it one step…

Introduction User Defined Functions is a new feature in PowerBI currently in public preview. There is a lot of buzz in the air regarding this because it opens new scenarios with modularity and reusability of the code. For more details about DAX UDF’s you can check for example following blogs posts. Introducing user-defined functions in DAXby Marco Russo & Alberto Ferrari from SQLBI 8 tips for writing User-Defined Functions in DAXby Kurt Buhler from Tabular Editor As mentioned in second article, one very important aspect of modularity in code is Testing and that’s where CAT comes in. We are evangelists of Power BI testing for a long time and…
When you connect to a coffee shop’s WiFi or access the internet from any public network, your data travels through infrastructure you don’t control. Anyone positioned between you and the websites you visit could potentially intercept your traffic, even on your home network, your internet service provider can see every site you browse. A VPN solves this by creating an encrypted tunnel between your device and a server you trust. Instead of your traffic going directly to the internet, it first travels through this secure tunnel to your VPN server, which then forwards it to its destination, so anyone watching…

One of the most exciting advances in modern AI is multimodal support, the ability for models to understand and generate multiple types of input, such as text, images, or audio. With multimodal models, you’re no longer limited to typing prompts; you can show an image or play a sound, and the model can understand it. This opens a world of new possibilities for developers building intelligent, local AI experiences.In this post, we’ll explore how to use multimodal models with Docker Model Runner, walk through practical examples, and explain how it all works under the hood. What Is Multimodal AI? Most…
