New @PolicyViz Podcast: Lauren Klein on her new book Data by Design — 12 years, 11 collaborators, and a counter-history of data visualization. Why a chart is only as powerful as how and by whom it’s used.

In this article+video, we implement a DAX user-defined function that removes filter-keep column filters from a calendar, using REMOVEFILTERS as the return value of the function.

Most people create columns one by one in Power Query. But you don’t have to.
You can write all the logic inside a single record, expand it once, and get multiple columns in one go.
Cleaner, faster, and much easier to manage.
P.S. - Hyderabad folks, I’m in town and doing an in-person meetup tomorrow, 21st Mar 11 AM at Café Coffee Day, Sarath City Capital Mall.
If you’re around, come say hi. I always enjoy these meetups because everyone brings different experiences and perspectives, and the conversations are always worth it 😀
See you there!

The new calendar-based time intelligence functions offer greater flexibility than the classic time intelligence functions in DAX.
This article describes the DATEADD parameters for controlling different granularity shifts in Power BI.

This article+video shows how to create a DAX measure that displays information from multiple columns in a business entity or transaction, into a single column of a matrix.
Showing more in less space!

First @PolicyViz newsletter of 2026!
Must-have Map Books for Data Visualization
If you’re building your data visualization library, start with these three. More discussion and details in the full post, plus more things I'm reading and watching.

Yes this was built in Excel😳✈️
Not Power BI.
Not Tableau.
Just good old Excel — with a map, filters, scrollable lists, and flight paths.
Around 8 years ago, while searching for flight information,
I came across raw flight schedule data from Indigo Airlines.
It looked like a boring spreadsheet —
So I turned it into this 👇
💡 Pick any city → See all flights
💡 Switch From/To views
💡 Filter by day, route type, or stopover
💡 Watch the map & data update instantly
Fully interactive.
No plugins. No PowerPoint hacks.
Just Excel + Power Query + some sneaky VBA.
This dashboard is proof:
Excel isn’t outdated — it’s underestimated.
Would you build something like this in Excel?
Here's the complete walkthrough - goodly.co.in/flight-schedule…
Retweet if this blew your mind.

A post on LinkedIn yesterday reminded me that I never recorded a video about this important keyword in #PowerQuery in #PowerBI that can be used both in #PowerBIDesktop and in #PowerBIService and #MicrosoftFabric #Dataflow
#SHARED is a very useful keyword that I demoed in today's video;

Dreading making that #DAX Measure? Maybe Visual Calcs is a better way to go in #PowerBI! Does this mean you can throw out DAX Measures? Jeffrey Wang joins @PatrickDBA to explain the value prop of both and when to use them.

Do you know how easy it is to search a text value in a #PowerBI #report and #visualization using the new TEXT SLICER?
I showed a demo of that in today's video

If you find #M #scripting #language in #PowerQuery in #PowerBI or #Microsoft #Fabric #Dataflow #DataFactory hard to understand, I have to say the basics are easy; you can learn them quickly.
In this video, I explained some of the basics of M language, which is the language used for #DataTransformation and #ETL if you use Power BI or Fabric
