An Intro to D3 for Data Analysts
D3 can be used to build custom visualizations from scratch - using programming languages typically associated with web development. The problem is most data analysts aren't web developers (myself included). Lack of even basic exposure to these frameworks can feel like a big hurdle. The aim of this article is to provide a basic starting point for anyone interested in learning D3.

A minimalistic approach to line chart labeling allows for quicker insights and data to stand out in a visualization. Learn how to extend out-of-the-box line chart labeling in Power BI using DAX and combo charts.
ReadSliced Aggregates in Power BI
Different modeling approaches can speed up performance of your Power BI dataset - albeit with the tradeoff of additional complexity. One situation is where users need to access a very large dataset, but typically apply the same set of filters - resulting in a small subset of rows meeting the needs of most queries. A sliced aggregate approach (implemented in the data model + DAX) can be used to make your models performant where they need to be, but still allow the full range of reporting.
