Hi Chandoo, I made my first Power BI dashboard courtesy of your video..Thanks.

[@chandoo_]

Great Ali. More power to you ⚡

[@pieterlinden8292]

Oh I'm sooo bummed I missed this!!! A really cool thing to do might be to use Parameters to switch databases/stored procedures/tables etc. (Can you pass values via PowerBI parameters to stored procedure calls? I would think you could basically frankenstein a string together and pass that back to SQL Server.)

Question What is faster to extract some records from an large Access table into Excel: 1. Power query with filters? 2. Power pivot with filters? 3. Power pivot with SQL commands? 4. VBA module where an ADO connection? Regards, George

[@maciejkopczynski55]

It all depends on the condition of your data inside Access db. Power Pivot won't let you go through the ETL process that Power Query will. For me getting data into Excel is always via Power Query. This is in my opinion the most elegant and the fastest way to get the results. For this specific use case you would have to construct 4 mentioned models and compare them. The thing is that Power Query allows for additional operations before load, which could in some cases narrow down what we load to the data model/worksheet.

[@tejaswinikuruba1269]

​@@maciejkopczynski55hi .. I just started learning power bi .. SQL+excel+power bi is enough to go for power bi developer??? Or python is also required?? Any suggestions

Okay let me rephrase my question better... lets say for example i perform an sql query to get total number of orders from a table and the result is returned in the result tab. how do I access this result in power BI so that I can visualize it ?

[@opejoseph6814]

Thanks for your videos. But I want to ask if you’ll be having a detailed video on “Limitations of using Direct Query Connection in PowerBI” and how to overcome those limitation. I’m currently facing such issue where I can’t visual any column I created using datediff() on the date column I imported from my live data warehouse, I get an error that says PowerBI cannot food the expression…use a simpler expression… thanks

[@chandoo_]

I haven't worked much with Direct Query option, so can't comment. I suggest reading up on this a bit more to figure out what is going on.

The queries you carried out in mysql did it affect the tables... like for example if you query GEO table will the result of the query affect the GEO table....Im not sure I'm asking the question correctly cause I'm quite confused....what does the queries do? Like what are they affecting, are they producing a new table ? I'm confused

[@chandoo_]

All these are "read" or "select" queries. So no updates are made, just reading the data. See this video to learn more about SELECT queries for Data Analysis work - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ommndIOXfchoirM

We do not have to launch Power Query editor to change the parameter value. There is an option to od so from within the Power BI GUI itself. We have to go to 'Tranform data' -> 'Change parameters'. We will be presented with a list of updatable paramters.
