Removing the Filter Pane Visibility Toggle for Bookmarks - with Mathias Thierbach

A common pain point for model authors using bookmarks is that the bookmark toggles the open/closed visibility status of the Filters pane at the time of the bookmark creation. This occurs each time the bookmark is activated. This video shows how to use PBI-Tools to easily edit the bookmark code in the PBIX file, and remove the link between the bookmark and the filter pane visibility with ease! Tune in to learn more. 😎

GUEST BIO 👤

In 2015, after having spent over ten years as a Software Developer and Architect with Microsoft technologies, Mathias Thierbach moved into the Microsoft BI space. He soon landed on Power BI, but also realized quickly that the development and engineering tools and practices were nothing like the ones well established in software development. This is how pbi-tools started as a project, filling this gap in tooling. Today, leading a growing data management team at YouGov, he experiences the benefits of those efforts every day. Having open sourced the project in fall of 2021, Mathias spends a lot of his free time bringing those practices to the wider Power BI community now.

ABSTRACT 📝

At the end of last year, one called ExecuteQueries was added to the endpoint portfolio in the Power BI REST API. It is an endpoint that allows you to extract data directly from datasets. Although it also brings limitations, I think that its advantages outweigh them. So what can it be used for, and why should I be interested? Tune in to find out!

GUEST BIO- Štěpán Rešl 👤

"Don't say something cannot be done, or someone who doesn't know will come and do it.". This motto describes me very well. I would say because I am trying to find a path even on fields where paths shouldn't be. I'm the MVP of Data Platform (Power BI) and a co-founder of a company called DataBrothers, where I work as a Lead technical consultant. Primarily I am working with Microsoft Power Platform Technologies (Power BI, Flow / Automate, and PowerApps) and am the Author of the Czech PBI blog Jakna Power BI (translated "How to Power BI").
