User Defined Functions (UDFs) in Power BI - Three practical ways to put it to use

If you have ever written the same DAX logic in five different measures and then had to update all five when something changed - you already know the pain this feature solves. User Defined Functions, or UDFs, let you write a piece of logic once, store it in your model, and call it like any other built-in DAX function. Cleaner models, less repetition, and a much easier life when business rules change.

Show me the problem - a diagnostic toggle for your Power BI reports

What if your report could tell you not just how performance looks, but where to look first? This visual does exactly that - a simple toggle reveals a diagnostic layer that highlights the months worth talking about, without cluttering the default view for everyone else.

4 ways to use error bars in Power BI - small feature, big impact

Error bars in Power BI are hiding in plain sight. Most people set them up once for a standard chart and never think about them again - but there is a lot more going on under the hood. Used creatively, error bars can reshape a visual entirely, adding elements that would otherwise require custom visuals or complex workarounds.

This DAX Measure Sends Emails Directly from Power BI

One of the most practical things you can add to a Power BI report is the ability to generate a contextual email straight from the visual. No copy-pasting. No looking up email addresses. Just a single click and the email opens, pre-filled and ready to send.

KPI Overview Page in Power BI that left my Client speechless

Custom icons on Azure Maps in Power BI - this changes everything

Power BI maps have always had potential - but the visuals never quite delivered on it. With the January 2026 update to the Azure Map, that changes. Custom icons, directional rotation, and conditional coloring are all now on the table. Let's explore them.

A button slicer that zooms on selection - a clever trick that makes a big difference

Sometimes it is the little things that make a report feel polished. This one is quick to set up, looks great, and gives your users a satisfying click experience - a button slicer where the selected category zooms into focus and the others step back. No custom visuals, no tricks beyond what Power BI already gives you.

Power BI Progress Bar You Haven't seen Before

If a metric really matters, it should stand out and feel important. Showing “just” a KPI value, like a progress percentage, has very little visual impact and is easy to overlook. So, comes the Progress bar.

Don't Just show Actuals vs Target - Build This Power BI Visual Instead

How far are we from the target if we consider what's done, in progress, and queued up? To answer this we could put together a basic visual or you put in a bit more effort and make it easier to read, more insightful and look better

Write DAX Code Once, Use it Everywhere

User-Defined Functions (UDFs) have finally made their way to Power BI, and this is a game-changer for DAX. They make it easier to write, maintain, and share reusable logic. Instead of reinventing the wheel every time, you can now put your logic in a function and reuse it across multiple measures.
