Rishi Sapra MVP

Sad that my country left the EU last night but super excited to have joined a new family today - the group of the most hard-working, selfless individuals I have ever known - the Microsoft #MVPs! Thank you @LonBizAnalytics (Mark w) @AmyKateNicho for the nominations! #mvpbuzz

The Adolescence of Technology: an essay on the risks posed by powerful AI to national security, economies and democracy—and how we can defend against them: darioamodei.com/essay/the-adol…

Dear #WhiskySanta, please may you put Don Amado Mezcal Rústico from @MasterofMalt under my tree? I've been really good this year! masterofmalt.com/asksanta/mezca…

@BoucherNicolas Ai cfo

You might want to learn this for yourself as well. So, this Friday, you should join my free masterclass. I’ll be showing these use cases. If you want to join, drop "AI CFO" in the comments and I'll share the link.

Just finished a training session for a finance team on how to use AI for Finance Here’s what we covered:

Materialised views coming to MS Fabric notebooks complete with automated data quality rules!

Another challenge I hear from customers in fabric has been that there are too many ways to do the same thing which results in inconsistency. Announcing user defined data functions in fabric notebooks (which can be called via external APIs) to re-use code snippets!

A copilot powered tool to migrate from azure synapse dedicated pools into a fabric data warehouse!!

Whilst Power BI users love the developer features of fabric for enterprise reporting, for the data engineers used to Azure the criticism has always been that it doesn't go far enough - it needs dynamic CI/CD, SPN support and a command line interface!!

This is insane!!! When you need to hire a 20,000 seater sports stadium in Las Vegas for a product keynote you know you're onto something:-) Great to see @GuyInACube interviewing fans too - there's some fellow former accountants in the room!

It's #PBIMCR time! First up we have @jamesdales talking all things Icon Map Pro #PBIMCR #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI #pbi #community #usergroup #meetup #manchester

@MrAndyCutler @RishiSunak @elonmusk You mean by marrying the daughter of a billionaire? In any case monetary and fiscal policy are blunt instruments in a global society, the ONLY way to grow an economy is through higher productivity and competitiveness through skills growth-education or skilled immigration!

With the UK going to the polls tomorrow there’s really very little in any manifesto that’s going to move the needle (Which has done a good summary-which.co.uk/news/article/g…)..where’s the government that’s going to prioritise adult education in tech/AI so we become competitive?

@MrAndyCutler @KoprowskiT That was my first time submitting to this conference and I got accepted too so extra bummer 😒

1. @FTC has taken action against Adobe and two executives for pushing people into subscriptions and then making it absurdly hard to cancel. Adobe ambushed users with hefty "early termination fees" and threw up obstacles when people tried to cancel. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

So excited! Icon Map Pro for #PowerBI is now available on AppSource! Check out the new website to explore all its capabilities: iconmappro.com #GIS #MicrosoftFabric #Maps #GeospatialAnalytics

@fusionet24 @mim_djo Don’t get me started on the naming for this 😂 but the concept is brilliant!

The announcement at #fabcon of Metric sets - a new layer in #microsoftfabric that allows for the creation of re-usable measures (with corresponding dimensions) means that organisations can have logic centralised and catalogued so they can build enterprise level data products!

In my session at #fabcon this afternoon I’ll talk about “Analytics in the era of Gen AI”. The announcement of copilot for data warehouse and bringing PBI copilot into the desktop experience (including explaining existing dax queries and even general concepts!) is a key enabler!

There’s over 100 million import models in Power BI today! How do we move them to become lakehouse backed with the data in OneLake so we can analyse it with other workloads? Announcing automatic OneLake integration for import semantic models at #fabcon
