Rishi corrected me, and rightly so, i made a comment about the pathing saying it was Workspace Name\Artifact Type\Artifact Name. It is rather the reverse. Artifact Name\Artifact Type\Workspace Name. Thanks Rishi!

Great video! Thanks! Can you make an updated one of the Faric capacity app? I can't really understand the start/end time of the background operation in the timepoint drillthrough.

Thanks for the awesome videos. I have Power BI and am trying to embed this in React application. Looks like Analyze dropdown is missing in embed mode. How can we enable this? Thanks.

[NickPowerBi]

thanks for the video! very nice one! mind if i ask what's the software/app you are using to somehow "zoom in" on powerbi, it looks like in the video a portion of where you click is zoomed in/enlarged to view it better, which is super cool, so wondering how to do it when recording the screen, thanks

Once we drill into the query details, can we see the actual DAX query as well?

[srinivaskundan]

Regd refresh details, can we get the next refresh date field for the datasets. Can we download and customize this report

[MijalisMendiz]

Hi Adam! Great video, as usual. Is there a way to save this data in order to see a longer period? At least a month. Thanks Mijalis

[moeeljawad]

Thanks for this Adam, really helpful information. Any idea on how to save the data from the app to another location (file, Dataset, ....) for historical storage, that show the organization metrics over a longer range of time?

[anthonysowards]

Hi Adam,
Do they plan to add dataflows to the app?

[tochiokongwu]

Hi Adam, in your previous video about Gen 2 capacity usage reports, you mentioned capability to have chargeback models-i.e, , ability to bill back utilization to different groups but that was not captured here? Can you show how this can be done

[SeanTong]

Excellent video Adam. If you don't mind, would you expand a little on the "Artifacts - Query" in Overview page? It seems to me only the datasets are being tracked, and in my case, all datasets either sourced directly from database tables, or custom SQL statement through Import (No DirectQuery). So I would imagine there is no "Run-Time" Query processing, but somehow "Query" still shows up in the Artifacts. Thanks

How do I decide if I want to downgrade from PowerBI Premium Capacity to Premium User License, like what metrics specifically do I check?

[joelgagnon]

Thanks for sharing! The app provide great contents for analysts, I’m looking for a metrics that would says to my boss if the capacity is healthy or unhealthy. How would you do that? This metric was available in the gen1 version. Thanks!

Hello I don't get what is attrifact is and how it helps ?

[andyparkerson]

Does this work with A SKUs, or just P SKUs? I installed it and tried to set up it with an A1 SKU, but nothing showed up.

[martin]

Okay, so you can scroll down there... I got stuck at TimePoint and didn't notice the scrollbar. My bad I guess, but still, MS could have given us a bit more clue there.
Thanks for this!

[ok]

Can you please make a video explaining about Interactive Operations? For example, what could be a Query interactive operation?

[gopalb]

Hi guys you make understand easy.. With every topic I watch to refer and can you guys show me how to connect to service now tool to get data.. From long time i been waiting for it.

[powerranger]

Thank you for posting about this app. Have tried to make heads or tails of it but its an extremely frustrating app to use.

[eric]

Thanks for great video, Is this still going to be in use with the new Fabric Capacity Metrics?
