Office data connection (odc) files allow end users to quickly and easily launch , create a pivot table connected directly to a specified data source.

If that column is not referenced in the report, it should be filtered by default. Ideally, the default is defined by a DAX ex...

I like the new Filters pane, but I think you really want to think about allowing the same kind of "Edit Interactions" for fields in the Filters pane as you do for any other visual. Here's why: I would dearly like to ditch slicers from a report in favour of the Filters pane in order to free up p...
