Stop Writing SQL: Use Copilot Studio for Fabric Data

Your company isn’t blocked by data—it’s blocked by syntax. Copilot Studio turns plain-English questions into governed Fabric queries, so “What was our revenue by quarter?” finally gets an instant, secure answer—no SQL, no tickets, no waiting. It’s not a chatbot; it’s a translation engine that reme…

Why Your Power BI Query is BROKEN: The Hidden Order of Operations

Power BI is lying to you. Those neat, orderly “Applied Steps” you trust are a façade. Power Query is secretly rearranging, deferring, collapsing and sometimes ignoring the way you wrote your transform steps — which is why your filters don’t filter, your merges get weird, and refreshes suddenly go…

Your Fabric Data Model Is Lying To Copilot

Copilot didn’t hallucinate — you hallucinated first. Your schema lied → Fabric believed it → Copilot repeated it with confidence. Bad Bronze → leaky Silver → fake Gold = executive decisions built on fiction. Fix the Medallion discipline + fix the semantic layer — or keep paying for an AI that po…

The Secret to Power BI Project Success: 3 Non-Negotiable Steps

Power BI isn’t failing because of visuals — it’s failing because nobody plans. 60–70% of BI projects become expensive wallpaper. This episode exposes the 3 discipline steps that separate strategic intelligence from dashboard vanity — why most organizations confuse activity for progress, and how to …

Bing Maps Is Dead: The Migration You Can't Skip

You Thought Your Power BI Maps Were Safe breaks down the Bing Maps → Azure Maps eviction — and why this is not optional, not cosmetic, and not “a visual upgrade.” As of Oct-2025, Bing Maps visuals are deprecated. If you don’t migrate, your map visuals become blank boxes. This episode explains …

Stop Power BI Chaos: Master Hub and Spoke Planning

Power BI Collaboration — from Wild West → Hub-and-Spoke Power BI self-service feels empowering… until every department defines “revenue” differently and no one agrees which dashboard is real. In this episode, we break down why the chaos isn’t a tooling problem — it’s an architecture problem — an…

Dataverse Pitfalls Q&A: Why Your Power Apps Project Is Too Expensive

Dataverse isn’t “included.” It’s a premium, enterprise-grade platform with costs that stack fast: licenses, capacity, environments, storage (db/file/log), and API limits. Most sticker shock comes from assumptions—thinking M365 covers Dataverse, that guests are free, or that storage is cheap. Use…

The Hidden Governance Risk in Copilot Notebooks

Copilot Notebooks feel magical — a conversational workspace that pulls context from SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, decks, sheets, emails — and synthesizes answers instantly. But the moment users trust that illusion, they generate data that has no parents. Every Copilot output — a summary, parag…

Stop Wasting Money: The 3 Architectures for Fabric Data Flows Gen 2

Most Microsoft Fabric teams are bleeding money because they treat Dataflows Gen2 like old Power BI ETL. In Fabric, compute—not storage—is the meter, so every redundant refresh spins up clusters, reloads the same sources, and multiplies cost. The fix is architectural, not heroic CSV exports. Ther…

GPT-5 Fixes Fabric Governance: Stop Manual Audits Now!

Fabric didn’t fail at features—it failed at governance cohesion. Data lives in Fabric, security sits in Power BI, labels live in Purview—and they don’t natively reason about each other. That’s why audits devolve into CSV marathons and name-matching nightmares. Enter GPT-5 inside Microsoft 365 Co…

Stop Using GPT-5 Where The Agent Is Mandatory

GPT-5 in Copilot is dazzling—but its fluency can fool you. It produces executive-ready prose fast, yet lacks defensible provenance. That makes it great for creation (drafts, outlines, brainstorming) and terrible for compliance (anything that must survive audit). The Researcher Agent is the counterw…

SharePoint Agent vs. Human Admin: Can AI Replace You?

The SharePoint Knowledge Agent is marketed as an autonomous librarian; in practice, it’s an overconfident intern that needs supervision. It can suggest metadata, set simple natural-language rules, and answer questions across libraries—but it amplifies whatever chaos already exists. Auto-tagging mir…
