What kind of parameters can you use in DAX user-defined functions?
This video introduces parameter types and passing modes in DAX UDFs: learning the difference between VAR and EXPR passing modes is the critical element to learn.
A practical demo to understand how parameters work in UDFs and why they matter when creating reusable DAX logic.

I sat down with Miguel Angel Escobar โ Principal Program Manager on the Data Integration team at Microsoft โ and we went deep.
Not surface level. Deep.
Here's what we unpacked in this episode of Fabric Insider:
๐น Power Query explained for someone who has never touched it
๐น Web vs Desktop vs Excel โ and what the unification plan actually looks like
๐น What Power Query Online can do that the desktop version simply can't
๐น The performance enhancements you should know about โ and what's happening under the hood
๐น The big question: Dataflow vs SQL vs Python โ which one should you actually use for data transformation?
๐น Dataflow CU consumption โ yes, it's been a pain point. Has it been fixed? Miguel answers directly.
๐น My Queries โ a feature most people haven't explored yet
๐น What's coming on the roadmap
This is the kind of conversation you don't get from documentation.
Straight from the people building it.

How to share Power BI reports - the right way
youtube.com/shorts/zcjKHDpIfโฆ
There are many ways in which you can share a Power BI report in your organization. There are pros and cons of each method, but there is one method that works for most of the organizations because it creates a good separation of user and developer environment, which is called the Power BI app. Watch this video to learn how this works.

Related and important - be able to focus, read, and do deep work. Don't let these basic skills erode and resist the narrative or feeling that everything must be entertaining and satisfying. Keep reading and questioning the things you read; be able to read and write/communicate about difficult topics.
Treat it like going to the gym. Lift your mental weights every day or you'll lose your mental strength.
Being able to do this is already a simple way to have a big competitive advantage.
One of the most valuable things that you can do to accelerate your learning and career right now with AI & agents is to stop thinking in terms of tools and platforms. Don't box yourself in; do the opposite.
For instance, don't think only about Power BI if you're a "power bi" person; likewise for Tableau, Qlik, etc. You don't have to be the <tool> person anymore and I don't think it's helpful to think that way right now, at all.
Zoom out. Focus on the actual business problems and agnostic theory in your professional or interest space - both horizontally and vertically. Consider in that problem space what useful, effective (in cost and results) solutions actually look like. Be as much as possible solution and value-driven.
Step outside your comfort zone and your stack / vendor bubble and look broadly at what's happening in your market. Experiment and think outside the box; flex your brain and try things that seems outlandishly outside of your expertise area. You will experience some helpful friction and learn a lot.
If you are continuously focusing on using AI and agents with one specific tool or platform it's a bit the equivalent of using a power drill to make a better screwdriver. It might be the easiest and most immediately helpful in your job, but i don't think it's the most effective path forward for personal development (it might even be dangerous or counter productive). I don't think it's the best way to prepare for what this next "era" is shaping out to be.
