Hey y'all. I'm looking for my next Datavis gig with the *exact* right mix of "I won't professionally compromise" and "but that's quite the hourly rate".

@myersmiguel @marcorus Here's the relevant tables. Note that Year[Year] has a different max value (2004) than Time[Year], and this seems to cause the DAX to return the wrong result when a "Between" slicer used

@myersmiguel ^ @marcorus I wonder if you can confirm whether this is a DAX issue, or as i suspect a bug in Slicers in "Between" mode (and not the first potential bug I've raised regarding "Between" Slicers with Microsoft that has gone nowhere).

@myersmiguel Further to this, why does my DAX return an incorrect result when in "Between" mode - unless I change the max value of the table used to populate the Slicer to the max value of the table it is connected to. Note the correct result when I change the Slicer to a Tile layout.

I REALLY enjoy reading “The Robotic Overlord’s New Fabric” by @kurtbuhler. (Pity he didn’t actually call it that).

Hey @TradeMe. WHY do you keep asking me this when I'm just going in to *edit* a listing? . Why must I specifically click the "Photo" tab every time? I don't want this nag, and I can't stand the #ClickTax. Please fix.

I've tried twice now. both times I get the "Something's gone wrong" screen after payment. Plus the new UX is just maddening. Much harder to input multiple pickups by the look of it.

The UI is maddening! I'm entering Parcel Details. If I put 50 under Height, and push Tab, does it move me to Length? Nope. it changes the view to "Tube". Terrible experience.

So @the_d_mp kindly explained to me today that this is because the custom visual is using the Matrix CV API, which doesn’t allow the developer to choose what the click on the axis filters. Or something like that.

In #PowerBI native core visuals, clicking on the axis lables selects that range for ALL multiplesmeaning "Q1 2023" gets passed to the other visuals on the page, without also sending "Exports" or "Imports". Which is what I want.

hey @ZebraBI If I want to crossfilter OTHER visuals on say Q2 2023, how do I do it from THIS visual *without* passing through the clicked panel's Small Multiple facet context ie. if I click on Q2 in the top panel, all the other visuals on the page get filtered on Q2 EXPORTS.

I've found it! The perfect analogy of what happens when people use #PowerBI without understanding how the engine works!. (Sorry, no subtitles). @PhilSeamark @marcorus: There's still time to include this clip in your deck for SQL Saturday.
