Hello!
My name is Marghet Hager, and I help manage the new Power BI User Groups (PowerBIUG) site!
I’m so pleased that we can offer this tool to Power BI professionals around the globe to CONNECT, ENGAGE and SHARE information and best practices. You can start new discussions, share files and resources, and instantly reach your user group members or post here – to the Power BI Exchange!
What is Power BI Exchange? All the user groups have access to this one online forum to collaboratively and instantly share all the cool things you are doing with Power BI. Connect with all the Power BI Users in the Power BI Exchange!
Here are a few tasks to help you get started:
- Update your profile
- Create a Speaker or Volunteer Profile
- Join the Power BI user group (PUG) closest to you!
- Add a discussion post to the Power BI Exchange
I’m excited to see this online forum grow into a place where members are having conversations about Power BI! To get the conversation started, I’d love to have you reply to this thread and introduce yourself.
Looking forward to connecting with you on PowerBIUG!

Hello everyone,I’m Brian, and my career has been focused on Finance Data. I’ve done lots of data work using Excel, and work implementing financial forecasting software.
I’m picking up PowerBI as a new tool in the toolbox for solving financial reporting needs. I expect it to be a good companion with several of the other software packages I use (assuming I can get data out of the other platforms).

Hi, My name is Howard Harrison from Oxford UK. I am the finance director of a multi-channel retailer.
I have been using PowerPivot for a few years now to provide analysis of our business data (>2M transactions per year). Now looking to implement a Power BI solution probably making use of Azure Analysis Services. However, currently failing to get the On-Premises Data Gateway to update our data model on Azure. Maybe suffering from being bleeding edge…….

Hi, my name is Ciarán Murphy and I work as a technical manager for a Telecoms software firm. I’m primarily focused on innovating how support work is done and how to evaluate and troubleshoot telcom systems based on large performance datasets.To this end I’ve created power bi based diameter and radius pcap analyzers as well as application statistic and Linux OS kernel tool (iostat, netstat, top, memory, ps and df) interactive models. These have enabled our support staff to cut root cause times down from hours, days or even weeks to minutes. I’m also currently evaluating it’s potential as part of a low cost Netscout alternative to show near real time network traffic analysis.
I also do standard business analytics for exec through SharePoint online using Excel web parts and I’m hoping to transition this to power bi in the future.
I’ll be attending the Power BI World Tour in New York in September and i’m hoping to meet and share experiences with other members of the Power BI community.
Thanks

Hello George,Great question. The decision to build out a new platform was based on feedback from the Power BI Users, PUG Leaders and the Microsoft Power BI team. Our goal is to bring additional support and benefits to the PUG Leaders and Members. To hear some of the initial feedback we received and a few of the benefits the new platform will provide listen in on the Website Reveal webinar.
The exciting news is this is just the beginning! We will be working with the PUG Board of Advisors (made up of PUG Leaders) and all of the members and leaders to continue to build out tools and benefits that will hopefully help the PUGs flourish and grow. Our main initiative will be to encourage Power BI Users to join the PUG closest to them and start networking and attending the user group meetings.Hope that helps!

Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to have found this site. I come from a Product and Finance background and have recently been tasked with assisting the technical product managers with business related support. I found Power BI through Excel and have been building reports to help the technical PMs manage their products and product life-cycle. I have an extensive background using Excel but am fairly new to PBI and DAX. I often struggle with complex DAX formulas and have no one in my organization to assist when I’m unable to generate the correct calculation. My hope is that this group will provide support and help guide me to better PBI reports.——————————

Hi all!I’m Jason Hurley and I currently live just outside of Buffalo, NY even though I spent my first 30 years in Cincinnati, OH. I love all things data, so Power BI was a natural fit when I first discovered it nearly 2 years ago. I’ve been working with it since it was a plug-in with Excel and now it’s a vital piece of our company’s internal business as well as the software we produce for our customers. Our software specializes in Behavioral Health, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse and has dozens of clients across numerous states in the US.
I loved the inaugural Data Insights Summit as well as all the media Microsoft has put out to spread the word and teach Power BI.
I look forward to learning and contributing to this community!
Take care,

Briefly, I create custom financial reports for the executive & management team at a gated community in central Georgia (USA). Reports are “club” related… golf, food & beverage, recreation, real estate sales, memberships, etc., using data collected from a multitude of sources, including SQL Server, Web and CSVs.I am a member of several Atlanta-based user groups and attend the occasional meeting. For now, I am interested in learning more about the ‘real-time’ aspects of Power BI using JSON, APIs and MS Flow. Would also like to dive a bit further into Power Query parameters.
Excited to be a member of this community!

I am Colin Michael, manager of business analytics for a large religious non-profit near Cincinnati. I recently moved my group back to Power BI after two years on another platform. With the maturation of the O365, the organization is moving into Power Apps and Flow and it just seemed like Power BI is finally ready for prime time. We’ve continued to use Power Pivot extensively, so the transition is going smoothly. We also use SSIS and SSRS and my group builds and maintains the data warehouse, as well.Three of us (me, the mgr of app dev, and our CIO) went to MBAS in Atlanta and that has jump-started our implementation of the platform.

I am a .NET developer in FinTech, recently rediscovering my taste for data. Two or three times each year I head into Toronto to participate in philanthropic data-thons (data-related hackathons). I don’t find I learn much that way, so lately I have been studying — via articles and books and, recently, edX. I’m not sure the future holds another data-only position for me, but I am certainly enjoying the ride. 🙂——————————

Hello!
I’m Bob Thomas and I’ve been using Power BI for about five months now. I work at Abbott which is a healthcare company. I work in IT as the IT Demand Portfolio Manager. I use Power BI to develop visualizations & dashboards of IT demand both at a divisional level and at the enterprise level (global). I really love the tool and also the fact that it is regularly updated. For the most part, thanks to the extensive videos and resources I’ve been able to figure things out on my own, but I do run into issues from time to time that I see are open issues for others as well. I look forward to meeting and working with you in the future. Cheers!——————————

Hi there everyone, great to be part of the PUG.
I am currently living in Brisbane, Australia and have been working in the BI space for the past 8 years. I started using Power Pivot when it was initially released and have not stopped learning and using it since then.
I downloaded and installed the first version of the Power BI Designer and have learnt a lot along in my Power BI Journey. I keep everything that I have learnt all documented, so that over time I have a quick reference guide.
I am currently working as an independant Power BI consultant and really enjoying working day in and day out with Power BI. I have learnt a lot and continue to learn. And it makes it all the better due to the monthly updates which ensures that I am always aware of what has changed, as well as what I can leverage for the business users. I am always looking for the most efficient way to do things in Power BI, right from the Query Editor, to modelling and DAX functions.
I have my own blog GQBI, in which I am blogging about things I learn from Power BI, as well as a weekly update on what has been going on within the BI space over the past week.
I also really enjoy the community that has been created with Power BI and I see this platform as another evolution of this. So I am looking forward to see how I can contribute and help out other people.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Michael Swisher, and I am very happy to be a Power BI user and a member of PUG. I’ve used Excel for many years, got into Power Pivot about three years ago, Power BI about two years ago, and have used it in some capacity virtually every day since then.I am a data analyst, effectively building forecast models for major manufacturers in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry. We deal with numerous fairly large, seemingly disparate data sources to build our models. PBI has become my go-to tool for verifying data, evaluating models, analyzing output and communicating findings internally and externally.
Although I have very elaborate data models, measures, reports and dashboards, I still have many questions and a lot to learn. I’m glad there is a group like PUG to learn from, bounce ideas and to help. Teaching is the best way to learn what you don’t know.
Looking forward to our discussions,

Hi Everyone,I am a CPA and Microsoft Dynamics 365 consultant in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I’ve been working with Power BI for more than a year now, and I love it. This is like SSRS on steroids!
In October 2016, I decided to move my own business’ accounting to Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. I had become a CSP for Microsoft Dynamics 365, and I felt this was really the best way to thoroughly learn the solution. At first, I was quite disappointed by the paucity of reporting within D365FO. In the past year, I’ve come to realize that (either intentionally or unintentionally) Power BI is Microsoft’s answer for this.
After 20 years of writing reports in Crystal, SSRS, etc., going to Power BI was a bit of a paradigm shift. As a reformed bean counter, I’m used to trying to arrive at conclusions based on reviewing columnar data. Power BI is truly a great evolutionary step forward for both myself and my clients…

Hi David,
Boy, I hear you on the paradigm shift. My default tool for 20 years was Crystal Reports.
I spent years making a reporting tool act like a dashboard visualization tool. Now I’m doing the reverse!We are re-implementing from AX 2009 to D365FO, so I’m interested in your experience using Power BI in the D365 environment.
I’m used to querying the SQL tables directly, so this is another paradigm shift.If you have any suggestions where to look for help on configuring D365/PowerBI for this purpose, that would be helpful.
Thanks,
Clark——————————

Hi all
I’m new to PUG.
Been using PowerBi for the past couple of years. I started out by transferring dashboards built on Excel. Have since been relying on PowerBi more and more, progressively using it to extract data and build models directly instead of Excel. Only a few people in our organisation use PowerBi now, but I believe more people should. I’ve been encouraging colleagues to try it out – that’s how I learned to use it.
I work at an Australian University – with a particular interest in inbound/outbound International study – and am keen to meet others in the sector who use PowerBi. I’m also interested to try my hand at visualising other sorts of datasets, and would be interested in projects or volunteer opportunities in other industries. I’m not an IT professional; I have general management experience. I have worked in advertising (marketing/media strategic planning), and have worked in small business start-ups.
Will be at the PowerBi World Tour at Sydney on Monday and look forward to meeting some of you there.

Hello,My name is Pratik Toshniwal. I started using Power Bi in 2014 when it was released by Microsoft. It was amazing to work with Power BI and they always have some interesting features lined up in upcoming releases. Excited to network and connect with other Power BI users. Hoping this would be a great learning place.

Hello Everyone,
I am a more recent convert to Power BI having used it now for just over a year.
In addition to my primary finance role I also lead clinical data analysis for internal and external reporting. I also participate in quality/process improvement initiatives.
So far I have used Power BI for data extraction and manipulation for both tabular and graphic dashboards for internal productivity metrics. I am working toward designing productivity dashboards that can be published for individual contributors.
I have a long way to go and am looking forward to learning from the impressive knowledge shared on this forum.

Hi All,
I am Tim Dyeson and I manage the performance metric system for a large state agency in WA State. I have been using Power BI full-time since June 2017. My team is small, but mighty! We have been able to engage with other state agencies to offer support based on our experience. We also teach analysts at our organization how to use the Power BI desktop application and how to manage Workspaces. This forum has been an excellent resource for our team, as well as a resource for all of those we encounter who need additional help in a supportive environment. Glad to be here!!

MemberJanuary 1, 2018 at 10:15 AM
Hello Everyone!I work in accommodation wholesale within the leisure travel industry. Self-taught in BI with no IT, finance, or business background. Existing strength is in using Excel for statistical analysis as I established this foundation studying psychology in graduate school. Have been devouring content on DAX, Power BI, Power Query, Data Modeling, business maths, finance, and accounting since the start of 2017. My wife’s cousin works in finance and was over for Christmas last year and opened my eyes to the business world with access to Breaking into Wallstreet. You don’t know what you don’t know as they say!
Microsofts’ EdX courses are what got me started down the BI path though. Highly recommend EdX, Microsoft has some great courses on there.
Currently practicing and polishing up skills in data modeling, DAX, and dashboard design. Python and data science for business are the two subjects I’ll be focusing on in 2018. I have already created several reporting solutions that have increased my efficiency and productivity at work, but I am driven more by a passion for BI than any direct demands from my job. I definitely can use support in creating finished projects and growing my perspective and understanding. I trust this is the right community for those needs.
Happy 2018!——————————

Hey everybody. I’ve been looking for a source-agnostic data visualization tool for quite a few years and now think I’ve found it with PowerBI. Whatever I may be and PowerBI might do, I tell stories with data and PowerBI helps me illustrate those stories and get people interested in underlying data who would NEVER read thousands of rows in a spreadsheet or report.
I’m still working on some fairly simple implementations of PowerBI (mainly using Excel / CSV and ondrive to extract data from proprietary systems then connect PowerBI to the exports).
Some examples:

Would love to connect with other Power BI and/or Blackbaud users in and around Washington, DC

Hi All,My name is Martyn Hale and I’m based in the UK. I was the first to establish a PUG in the UK, so I’m very proud of that – we are known as the ‘East Midlands Power BI’ group.
I’ve been working in and around data for 20 + years. I decided to focus most of my time on the Power BI stack about three years ago – as it’s turnout, that was a really good decision.
I’m feeling my way around the new portal slowly, but so far, it’s helped me to connect with others and look for help as and when I need it – well-done Power BI team for the portal.
I’m trying hard to expand the group and get others involved. I find it very demanding running the business and the group at the same time. If I can get more members, I will look to appoint someone as my assistance. If anyone can share tip & trick that would help me to encourage new members please let me know.
I will be running my first ‘Build a Dashboard in a Day’ next month – I see this as a great way to spread the Power BI message.
If you are in the UK, please get in touch.
Best wishes,

Still working out how to apply the security model, but with our small test audience the reports are delivering a solid indicator of what is achievable. Looking forward to building more comprehensive models.
