At Saturday the 21st of February I’m presenting an introduction to dimensional modelling at dataMinds Saturday. It’s a topic close to my heart, and I’ve always wanted to present on it. The slides can be found at GitHub. Hope to see you there!
SSMS 22 still inserting tabs instead of spaces
I’m not trying to start up a debate whether you should use tabs or spaces when indenting code. Personally, I prefer spaces because when I copy the code to another editor the outlining of the code remains the same while with tabs it’s not always the case (looking at you, Word and Outlook). But I […]
Power BI PBIR Format Admin Setting
