Top 5 Blog Posts of 2020

If you’re wondering what you’ve all been reading while working at home, here’s the list:

  1. Cool Stuff in Snowflake – Part 3: SPLIT and FLATTEN – People really seem to want to split some strings in Snowflake, and are possibly surprised with the resulting array. Like I was.
  2. Dynamically Changing Shapes in Power BI – I get the requirement, it’s something that I would like to do in a dashboard as well. But the solution proposed in this blog post is actually not ideal. It’s a try-out of the embedding of R code in Power BI Desktop. The follow-up blog post Dynamically Changing Shapes in Power BI – Alternatives has more elegant DAX solutions, but for some reason it doesn’t score as high.
  3. SSIS 2019 has arrived! Blog posts about different versions of SSDT for SSIS always rank well. I wonder why. Certainly not because there’s has never been any confusion in the past…
  4. Fix for Blurry SSMS in Windows 10 – This one solves an annoying issue, and because of that it’s one of the most commented blog posts on this site. People are so relieved they could fix it they want to say thanks.
  5. Where’s the Trend Line in Power BI Desktop? – I sometimes wonder if this still is an issue, since the blog post is almost 3 years old. But if it wasn’t, it probably wouldn’t rank so high.
