Quick tip for bulk editing the DAX, if you use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F2 (or Ctrl + Shift + L) after you have selected the 1st "financials[Date]", it will select all versions of that wording and you can overtype them in one move.

Exactly the Same i thought, what a dude 😂

You are just like a WOwww. I did your powerbi course from Udemy and it was Awesome and because of that course I got a data analyst position at UK based company. Thanks a bunch.

[@fernandocostasilva9122]

Amazing. Thanks for sharing. How do you make your icons white like that and where do you get them from?❤

[@faisalag9611]

Awesome,Thanks for sharing.

[@patrickbcox]

I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. One question I have is... where can I find the list of unicodes that includes 129129 and 129131. I am unable to find any codes in that range. And then I am hoping that there are other similar codes that I could peruse. Thanks!

[@OrangeJess]

Thanks for the video! I followed your steps, created new card and added few reference labels. When I did that, the first top of the card is so massive, you can’t see any of the reference label data below the devider. I have to make the card almost as big as my whole dashboard for all the info to be visible. How can I adjust it? Ideally I would want to move the devider up, so the rest of the data shows up. Any ideas?

[@b123kotey]

This was very enlightening. Thank you 👍🏾

[@ashutoshgusain1149]

Just on time. I am in this section of course and now can't stop myself from recreating it. Thanks Chris ☺️

Wow, stumbled upon a Chris Dutton video! I've been learning from you over 10 yeas. I still reference your FoodMart Solution File. Much respect Chris, your LinkedIn training made my career!

[@Chris-at-Maven]

That's great to hear, thanks for saying hi!

[@KanmiTitusFx]

[@SabtechOnline]

Thanks Chris for the detailed explanation

[@Chris-at-Maven]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ewad]

This is a great tutorial Chris! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. :) QQ though - the details formula works absolutely great in the desktop but when i publish to the service i get - - instead. Ideas?

[@Chris-at-Maven]

I've heard similar reports, and I think it's likely a bug (not uncommon for preview features)

[@spilledgraphics]

great video Chris! woah! amazing.

Absolutely fabulous run through of the New Card. I am a Power BI instructor, and need to show the New Card to my learners next week. Do I show it myself or just show them this visual (and let them see how a master does it)? Tricky decision.

[@MavenAnalytics]

😆 Glad the timing of the video worked out for you!

[@Chris-at-Maven]

Ha, thank you very much! Glad you found the demo helpful

[@molinamike]

This is just what I was looking for, great job and thank you for sharing!!

[@macokaba1964]

Thanks a lot for the video I followed through but somehow the context filter of start month is applying even to the reference labels and not displaying values for previous month How do I work around this?

[@NirRobinson]

superb

[@asasin9876]

Thanks for sharing, Iwas able to follow until the moment with the "start of the month" column. What is it, and how do I construct it?

[@asasin9876]

Just had to google a bit, sorry. STARTOFMONTH(DateTime[DateKey]) It is a standart DAX script, in my case I wanted start of the week and used this line StartOfWeek = [Date] + 1 - WEEKDAY([Date], 2) This works for weeks that start on Monday, also careful with it for the weeks that start/end on the border of the year.

[@pmehta91]

Great Video - Where can I download the PBIX for this please?

[@thereseburkhart6419]

Do you have a video on how to display the full value of a number in the card when it's > 10k? For example, instead of $24.2k, it shows $24,202

[@050224011]

Great video thankyou! Especially the arrows on the card details

[@beingrishi6450]

Is new course is coming on for latest PowerBI update?

[@bp2807]

Hi very nice. Kindly talk about dataverse? What it is? Please🙏

[@Chris-at-Maven]

We plan to put some content together around dataverse, onelake, and the broader Fabric ecosystem - stay tuned!

[@bp2807]

Great. Eagerly waiting

[@azizquazi]

Hi, looks like the Links to resources - PBIX file is not related to this video. Could you please be kind to double check this. Thanks.

[@user-hd1cq7rl9t]

why am i not finding these visual options in my power bi.....my power bi is upto date as well

[@ewad]

You probably need to make them available in options --> preview features. Instructions 2:14 in the video.
