I know this practice for a long time, and I haven't used a lot until a month ago when a user helped me understand the importance of explaining the blank for their experience. Usually when I use to had blank visual, I didn't do anything about it because I was assuming it was obvious. If you filter data and the visual stays blank, it's because you don't have something the see there.

It sounds obvious but many people not related with Bi tools assume there is a failure or issue with the development, and they don't think about a data issue. That's one of many reasons why we need to know this practice of showing a message explaining different situations when that happen. Let's help the users experience and issues perceptions. At the end of the post, we might have even more ideas to develop.

I have been giving support for DAX in different places. Something that is becoming more frequent are long DAX functions repeating code (they might be format, but long). Usually, these problems arrive when there is a performance issue that results in a long measure.

In this article I’m going to explain with my words the importance of using variables in our code. We should always consider using variables because they have several benefits. Some people might think they only help to make the code feel cleaner, but I can assure you it will help on maintainability too.

In many opportunities the most important thing for the users is the privacy. Knowing who can see what. Those scenarios usually follow two rules. From one hand avoiding access to a full report and on the other hand avoid read access to a specific page of the report and rows. What would happen if they want them both in the same report? I have seen Microsoft recommendations and many users talking about connecting a new blank report to the dataset and just copy the pages that the user should see. However, that's not a very good solution because each modification you have for the report you must do it twice. That's two reports and not even one with an admin permission to see all pages and a regular permission to just see one or two pages. This will become even more complicated if you have more than 2 types of users. You should build new reports for each of them.

This article will help us to handle page navigation permission with RLS. The solution might be similar to dynamic RLS solutions like this blog post.
