Same. I hope this bolsters UK and EU respect and support for him, a leader who has made genuine sacrifices, managing year 3 of a nation under siege by a villain, & has the dedication to say he'd step down if it means admission to NATO. The goons he sat with aren't worth the lint in his pockets.

Only if it's for misspelled Kookie Monster.

The emoji idea is fun, I might play with that.

Yup, this is a concern all over. So perhaps it's worthwhile having centralized agencies to protect land and water set aside for habitat, climate, clean air, and heck the economic impact of locals and visitors who love to explore nature? And provide a pool of centralized resources to support?

Are you concerned that Florida is unable to meet the desire of wealthy retirees? Because I can assure you, private development of 55+ communities is continuing apace. The Villages metastasizes daily. I'm concerned about eroding what little state and federal resources exist now.

What was proposed in FL drove us all mad because open wildlife areas are scarce enough while golf courses, pickleball courts, and even disc golf are plentiful. Let city parks continue to meet the public request for low cost recreation. State and national parks need to put nature first.

Yep, we were initially able to scream down the "state park = profitable golf course" in FL but we're under no illusions they won't try that again. And the current admin is eager to exploit national parks and lands for minerals / timber / corporate farm grazing access.

We do, the frustration is that they are often funded in large part by the whims of the private sector. It can also feel like double-paying; the federal taxes we pay are routed away from helping people, so now we will have to pay more to provide less help.

NOAA & NWS collectively offer tens to hundreds of billions of dollars each year in economic benefit through combination of averted losses & efficiencies gained. More importantly, NWS saves countless lives by issuing high-quality weather forecasts & extreme weather warnings.

*Sad trombone* - I'm running into the same problem that @mmarie.bsky.social ran into a few months ago with a missing theme file, it's a fail whether create or update from json. github.com/microsoft/se...

I suppose we could call it _TheMathYouWouldRatherNotDo, but honesty isn't always friendly. ;)

I've seen such magic murmured about in forum posts but don't know how it shakes out when you have people accessing from Excel (calm down people, you know that's a necessary path). And frankly if "it depends" is your answer for measure tables, that's as legit an answer as you'll find anywhere.

Oh yes, I'm going to test this in a smaller scale and *absolutely* leverage for some semantic model migrations in future. Because the horrific pain of changing in the past meant that you were doomed to keep the "oops, we should have named that better" attributes & measures FOREVER. ;)

Astonishingly the Microsoft Store has an update for this and I've confirmed the fix. Check to see if it has flowed to you, version is 2.140.1205.0 64-bit (February 2025). If you open the Microsoft Store and search for / open the Power BI Desktop app, that seems to trigger the update sooner.

So while I agree that Semantic Link Labs is a great solution, I am glad to approach the fix carefully rather than on-fire-hurry. :)

And TIL - on a non-prod model of course - that renaming the table in the model via the Power BI service does NOT fix the original model report tied to it. Power BI Desktop table rename handles this, Power BI service table rename does not. So here's hoping for a fix.

I can argue both side on that one but I know what you mean. Per the Mindtree ticket I opened in faint hope of good news, apparently this issue has been acknowledged as a bug by Microsoft so we may get a fix. I'm happy to change pattern in future models, hopefully can avoid scramble on existing.

Yeah, the models already existed at my current gig with the <space>Measures name, presumably _Measures will still be an OK way to force the table to the top. "Measure" singular would work too but that's less clear. Pattern chatter varies, just wish this wasn't a breaking change.

...renaming the table to _Measures or whatever and then fixing alllllll the thin client reports via a crash course in Semantic Link Labs. But gosh this seems a lot more like a bug than a purposeful #PowerBI feature. A head's up on this would have been ideal @powerbi.bsky.social

Someone must have introduced a trim function to validate reserved words because <space>Measures worked just fine for a long time. Can we rename the table? Sure, if we're willing to go through the pain of uninstalling, combing the internet for the Nov 2024 version and installing it...

The USPS goes any and everywhere and can have your package in the recipient's hands within 3 days in the continental US. It runs on weekends. It handles Amazon's volume. It does this all for pennies compared to other services. So many rely on the USPS for meds and business. We need the USPS.
