New blog & Fabric tip: See a wild spike in the Capacity Metrics App? Hit Focus mode on the chart - then you can actually click the red bar > Explore > Timepoint details. Helps you figure out what really went wrong instead of staring at a 65k% spike 😀 www.nickyvv.com/2025/11/quic...

I had the pleasure of talking to @analyticanna.bsky.social about exposing your data (pun intended 😁) from Fabric SQL with GraphQL! youtu.be/uRL3_PMFM7Q?...

If you were at @datasaturdaynl.bsky.social today and by accident took a gray Fabric coffee mug from the toilets next to room 9 during the 3PM break, I would really like to have that back tomorrow... 💛

Enjoying a FabCon update at the @dutchfabricug.bsky.social Dutch Fabric UG! @erwindekreuk.bsky.social @marclelijveld.bsky.social @kevchant.bsky.social

Power BI and Excel still go hand in hand for many people (no, it's not a database!). 💡But if you want to use Analyze in Excel with your Power BI datasets, there are a few boxes you need to tick first. This post breaks it down: www.nickyvv.com/2025/09/powe...

Congratulations @bidgeir.bsky.social! 🥳

A happy birthday to @oliviervs.bsky.social!

As an admin, you often get questions about Microsoft Fabric. What permissions are needed? How do you manage security and governance? What monitoring options are available? Check out my new post for all the resources already available on Microsoft Learn 👇 www.nickyvv.com/2025/03/micr...

About to leave Amsterdam to Seattle and MVP Summit in Redmond 🛫🥳
